Upper Midwest HERC

Developed in 2008, the Upper Midwest HERC is a collaborative response of member institutions to the many challenges of academic recruitment and retention. Of particular interest to the Upper Midwest HERC is finding effective ways to assist the spouses and partners of faculty and staff to secure area employment and ways to address issues of faculty and staff diversity.

A vital aspect of the Upper Midwest HERC is the web-based search engine that includes faculty and staff job listings at all member institutions. This search engine is free and available to anyone seeking employment in higher education. The central location of job postings and regional resources as well as the website's ability to accommodate dual-career searches distinguishes Upper Midwest HERC from other employment websites.

The Upper Midwest HERC is composed of a diverse group of public and private colleges and universities. Member representatives include faculty, staff, human resources professionals, institutional leaders, and faculty relations experts.
