Higher Education Resource Services (HERS) records, 1969-1999

Title: Higher Education Resource Services (HERS) records 1969-1999

Higher Education Resource Services (HERS) was started in 1972 at Brown University to promote women in higher education administration. HERS originally started as a referral and placement service for women in higher education, and it now provides professional development opportunities for professional academic women. As of 2005, HERS has three offices: HERS, Mid-America (located at the University of Denver since 1983), HERS, New-England (at Wellesley College since 1976), and HERS, West (at the University of Utah). Beginning in 1976, HERS and Bryn Mawr College have co-sponsored a four week Summer Institute for Women in Higher Education Administration. The Institute has had over 200 participants from the United States and abroad. In 1978, HERS, New England began The Management Institute for Women in Higher Education at Wellesley College. The Management Institute is a series of five weekend seminars providing management training for professional women administrators. The National Associate of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA)/HERS Institute for Administrative Advancement (IAA) is held for a week in June in various locations. Recently HERS completed the HERS South Africa Seminar, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, which provided the opportunity for 80 South African women to learn about higher education processes in the United States. All of the offices in the HERS network are involved in other activities to promote women, particularly women in higher education administration. These include working with women on career mapping and guidance; collaboration with other organizations, colleges and universities; attending and presenting in conferences; publishing; and service on various education related boards and commissions. Dr. Cynthia Secor has been the Director of the HERS Network since 1975 and is the founding Director of the Summer Institute and HERS, Mid-America.
