Career Center

Insight Into Academia is the oldest and most robust magazine and website focused on excellence and in higher education today — including a longtime focus on faculty and staff recruitment. Continuing our 50-year tradition, we connect highly qualified employees with colleges and universities through our Career Center. Our advertisers benefit from an extensive pool of job candidates, one that is strengthened by our strategic partnerships with organizations representing a wide range of talented individuals.


Viewfinder® Campus Climate Surveys & Consulting Services

Building on the valuable knowledge Insight Into Academia has gained through its national award programs and the magazine’s ongoing conversation about excellence and community-building in higher education, we established a sister company, Viewfinder® Campus Climate Surveys, LLC. These surveys evolved as additional, impactful tools for colleges and universities that seek to better understand and improve upon their campus culture.

Our climate surveys are designed to help schools identify and assess their efforts. Institutions gain insight into what shapes the experiences and perceptions of individuals on campus — including students, faculty, staff, and administrators — and where success can be celebrated and change needs to happen.

With Viewfinder® Campus Climate Surveys, we’re inspired by the same important vision our clients work toward: a campus culture centered on ensuring everyone is able to thrive in a supportive and welcoming environment.
