University tabbed as Berks County’s Who’s Who amongst colleges/universities

 

Alvernia University has been recognized as the Berks County college or university in the 2022 People’s Choice Who’s Who in Business listing for the second consecutive year.

 

“Through our Reading CollegeTowne initiative, we are committed to serving the educational needs of our students while being a catalyst for economic activity for the City of Reading,” said Alvernia University President John R. Loyack. “Our inclusion in this listing is a testament to the many early successes of the Reading CollegeTowne initiative and our dedicated students, faculty and staff that serve the Berks County community.”

 

The People’s Choice is an annual scientific survey that reaches out to thousands of residents to ask about their experiences and uses that information to determine which businesses and organizations have fostered positive consumer relationships over the years by providing valuable services and a commitment to quality.

 

For 2022, the People’s Choice Who’s Who in Business survey was conducted by the Harrisburg-based FieldGoals.US, a Certified Woman Business Enterprise providing superior qualitative and quantitative research services for a wide variety of businesses and entities both in Central Pennsylvania and throughout the United States. Their team of academics-including moderators, interviewers, survey designers and recruiters - excels at full-service, impactful research initiatives.
