SAN ANGELO, Texas — Modern Think, an organizational development and management consulting firm, has named Angelo State University as one the nation's "Great Colleges to Work For" for 2020. 

The university has also been recognized in a special edition of "The Chronicle of Higher Education," a news source for college and university faculty and administrators.

According to an ASU press release, the university is one of 79 institutions of higher education recognized by Modern Think and also ranked high enough to be one of 42 institutions to be named to the 2020 Honor Roll.  Including 2020, ASU has made both lists for six years straight.

"This year, in particular, we all got to see how exceptional our faculty and staff are, as they went above and beyond to continue to serve our students in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. From shifting to online classes in just two weeks to installing all the safety equipment and protocols so we could return to campus this fall, their efforts were absolutely fantastic. That our employees remain dedicated to our students and also truly enjoy working at ASU is a prime example of why we call ourselves the Ram Family," ASU President Ronnie Hawkins Jr. said in an ASU press release.

Employee satisfaction is evaluated through a survey by Modern Think. The survey included 12 categories in four general areas: leadership, the workplace, careers and compensation. An instructional audit of demographics and workplace policies are included in the two-part assessment, as well as the employee survey. ASU was recognized in 11 of the 12 categories.

ASU Human Resources Director Kurtis Neal said the broader national exposure for ASU will enhance the university's ability to recruit high-quality faculty, staff and administrators.
