Careers at HERS

Higher Education Resource Services (HERS) is a leadership development organization dedicated to creating and sustaining a dynamic network of women and gender-diverse leaders in higher education. Our programs serve emerging and established leaders from all institution types and all backgrounds. HERS is unique in that we prioritize equity in leadership as a way to create transformative opportunities for all college and university campus constituents.

Founded in 1972, HERS proudly serves as a network for higher education leaders and is building a repository of data and resources for leaders who seek to advance their careers, and their leadership practice in higher education.

For over 50 years, HERS has made great strides with respect to increasing the number of women and gender-diverse leaders working to transform higher education. However, there is much work to be done to improve equity in higher education, whether based on gender, race/ethnicity, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, or other criteria. HERS plans to continue with our efforts to expand excellence, access, and equity in higher education for the next 50 years and beyond, until there is equity in opportunities and outcomes for everyone.

HERS will transform higher education by serving as the premier equity-minded leadership development organization for women and gender-diverse leaders.
