Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College has been recognized as a 2019 Great College to Work For®. This year, 236 institutions participated in the survey, with 85 institutions recognized. Of those, 25 were two-year institutions.

“At Gulf Coast, we recognize that employee engagement leads to student success,” said Dr. Mary S. Graham, MGCCC president. “We have always been very intentional in preserving and enriching the culture at MGCCC, creating a positive and family-oriented atmosphere for both employees and students. We know that our employees are a tremendously important asset, and we value their contributions to making Gulf Coast a nationally recognized institution.”

Now in its 12th year, the program is regarded as one of the largest and most respected workplace recognition programs in the country, recognizing higher education institutions that get top ratings from their faculty and staff regarding workplace practices and policies.

Based on employee surveys and other data, MGCCC was recognized for four categories, including Compensation and Benefits, Respect and Appreciation, Work/Life Balance, and Supervisor/Department Chair Relationship. Gulf Coast has been recognized on the survey for the past eight years, with three of those years on the Honor Roll.
