HERS Leadership Institute
The HERS Leadership Institute is a transformational leadership development program for higher ed professionals, founded to fill leadership pipelines across the United States with dynamic leaders.
Next Stages Next Steps
HERS has partnered with Academic Search to help women and people who are gender diverse secure executive-level leadership positions in higher education through the program.
Executive Coaching Circles
HERS has partnered with Academic Search to offer an accessible, affordable, executive coaching program that includes coaching by a Senior Executive Coach in a group of peers in similar roles and positions at different institutions.
“I learned so much from the HERS Leadership Institute and my required interviews with senior leadership at my institution. I knew that I wanted to pursue a leadership position on campus in the future, but HERS made me realize that I could and should do it now. I was so inspired by the experience that I applied for a position on campus that became open right after I completed the program, and I got it! It will be a sharp learning curve stepping into this role at this time, but I welcome the challenge.”
Meet HERS
Higher education can reshape society for the better if it is led by diverse voices that reflect the diverse world it serves. Higher Education Resource Services (HERS) trains those leaders to transform the higher education sector and the generations of students who pass through its doors.
HERS is a change agent, accelerating systemic shifts in higher education by training the future of higher education leadership through a wide range of programming.
HERS is a thought leader, designing new ways to shape leadership curricula and providing opportunities for ongoing research, partnerships, and collaboration.
