What makes your college a great place to work?

President's Statement

McKendree University, Illinois' first and finest, is a great place to work because of the collaborative, creative, and caring members of our campus community. Our "One McKendree" principle guides our daily intentions focused on mutual respect and dignity for each other, engagement and open dialogue at all levels with an emphasis on life-long learning, and a commitment to provide growth opportunities to our highly talented faculty, staff, and students.

Employee Comment

What I appreciate the most about this institution is the community feeling with faculty and students. At this institution, students and faculty aren't just numbers; they are treated as people. Faculty members strive to get to know their students and help in any way possible, so students can achieve their academic and professional goals.
