Diversity and Community Engagement

Search Committee Training

Trainings will focus on how to diversify applicant pools, eliminate biases and potential discrimination in selecting potential candidates.


Search committees are a crucial part of our hiring process at the University of Mississippi.  As we continue our commitment to diversity and inclusion, it is important to ensure that our process is fair and equitable. These workshops will focus on how to diversify applicant pools, eliminate biases and potential discrimination in the evaluation of qualifications and identify missteps in the sorting and selection of potential candidates. All faculty and staff members are broadly invited to participate in this training.
