I am pleased to announce that Washington and Lee University has taken a leading role in the development of a collaborative employment network for faculty, staff, and administrators at 19 leading higher education and research institutions in the Mid-Atlantic region. The Mid-Atlantic HERC (Higher Education Recruitment Consortium) is a web based employment site which includes faculty and staff job listings at all member institutions. The central location of job postings and regional resources as well as the website's ability to accommodate dual-career searches distinguishes the HERC from other employment web sites. HERCs were created to support their member institutions in their efforts to recruit and retain outstanding and diverse faculty and staff and to support dual-career couples.
