Outreach

Equal Opportunity and Outreach encourages search committees and hiring officials to pursue large, diverse pools of qualified candidates.  Factors that enhance successful searches are:

• an ethos within search committees that values racially diverse candidates, as modeled by search committee chairs, deans and department chairs
• a forthright communication of this value in position advertisements through a statement in the position advertisement:  "In pursuit of deepening diversity in our workforce to reflect the community we serve and to enhance the academic experience for students, the University of Massachusetts Lowell is seeking a dynamic individual for the position of..."
• collaboration with Equal Opportunity and Outreach for assistance at any stage of the search process
• direct contacts with potentially interested applicants; for faculty positions, EOO annually provides deans with lists of names and addresses of minority and women doctoral recipients
• a wide-reaching advertising strategy that includes both traditional and minority-oriented venues.

The following is a list of suggested advertising venues:
