Through programs and events, we create and sustain a diverse community of women and gender-diverse leaders who serve as bold agents of inclusive and equitable change in higher education and beyond. Find an opportunity to grow and connect below.
In her latest book, Doing the Right Thing: How Colleges and Universities Can Undo Systemic Racism in Faculty Hiring (Princeton University Press, 2022) Dr. Gasman takes a hard look at the systematic racism and biases in faculty hiring processes and what to do about these issues. Dr. Felicia McGinty, HERS Alum and Director of Outreach and Engagement at HERS, will lead a frank discussion with Dr. Gasman about the state of the faculty hiring, institutional impediments to change, and the concrete actions needed to fix the system.
Hosted by HERS and co-facilitated by Academic Search, Inc., a long-standing partner of HERS and leader in the executive search field, NSNS was created to help women and people who are gender diverse secure executive-level leadership positions in higher education. The latest research by CUPA shows that women hold approximately 30% of executive positions at the nation’s colleges and universities.1 Next Stages Next Steps is our answer to that equity gap.
Leading From the Middle
Join us for a five-part series to dive deeper into leading and building teams, motivating and leading at all levels, and managing and resolving conflict. Participants will engage with peers and facilitators as they interrogate their own strengths, develop skills required for aspiring administrators and leaders, and learn how to effect institutional change that benefits both students and society at large.
Equity-Minded Leadership: Centering Racial Equity
This intensive workshop series is designed to equip you to develop the skills needed to translate institutional values and aspirations into tangible actions that close equity gaps in policies, practices, experiences, and outcomes among groups that have been historically excluded, marginalized, and underserved. The series will offer a highly engaging, fast-paced opportunity to learn, share, reflect and practice skills for equity-minded leadership.
Leading Change: A Book Talk and discussion with Susan Elrod, Ph.D.
Change is hard and it takes time, patience and strategy. Dr. Elrod will lead a discussion of two of her most recent publications, one focusing broadly on how to lead with a shared leadership approach and the other which provides concrete resources and tools for planning a more strategic approach to leading systemic, institutional change on your campus.
As one of our partners, you can be a leader behind much-needed change in the educational sector. Support for our programs drives leadership equity, enabling institutions to better support an increasingly diverse student body and better prepare their students to create a more equitable society.
