Hiring for Diversity Workshop

Penn State’s new Statement on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusive Excellence has been described as a “call to action” by Marcus Whitehurst, vice-provost for Educational Equity. One area of focus outlined in the statement relates to the workforce: “We will advance and build our workforce by assessing hiring practices and performance review procedures to attract, retain, and develop talented faculty and staff from diverse backgrounds.” If you want to learn more about diversity-related hiring issues and practices, please join us for a “Hiring for Diversity workshop,” from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m., on Tuesday, March 15, in Mann Assembly Room, presented by Rob Harris, Libraries Human Resources manager. Content will include increasing diversity in candidate pools, issues to be aware of in the hiring process and more. No registration is required for this program, which will also be available for remote participation via Adobe Connect.
