Advertising Widely [continued]

Departments are encouraged to use electronic job-posting services targeted toward diverse groups, such as minority caucuses of specific disciplines. Many professional organizations maintain directories of minority and women professionals. The Equal Opportunity/Compliance Office maintains a listing of recruitment resources. There are also other strategies to assist you in "casting a wide net" when recruiting:

• Make personal contacts with minorities and women at professional conferences and invite them to apply.
• Contact colleagues at other institutions to seek nominations of students nearing graduation, recipients of fellowships and awards, or others interested in moving laterally, making sure to request inclusion of qualified women and minorities.
• Identify suitable junior or mid-level faculty at other institutions and send job announcements. Telephone calls and letters to nominees and applicants can send a strong message of interest.
