The Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is proud to share that the University of Alabama at Birmingham is a member of the Southeastern Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC) and offers a range of resources to advance inclusive excellence in higher education recruitment and retention.

The HERC organization is comprised of over 700 colleges, universities and other institutions, and strives to diversify the pipeline of faculty, staff, and executives in higher education. As a non-profit coalition, HERC provides access to over 40,000 open positions, resources, networking opportunities, and outreach programs to guide institutional hiring practices and promote the retention of diverse and qualified workforce.

“We encourage faculty and staff to explore the opportunities and resources provided through the institution's HERC membership,” said Paulette Patterson Dilworth, Ph.D., UAB’s vice president for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. “These resources support equitable recruitment and retention practices and further amplify inclusive excellence across our campus and community.”

Faculty and staff can activate their sponsored membership by visiting member.hercjobs.org/myherc/join and completing the registration form using their UAB email address. Returning faculty and staff are encouraged to log in to access new resources and upcoming events.
