Drexel's Commitment to Diversity

• 
  MentorNet is an e-mentoring network available to junior faculty, post-docs, graduate students and undergraduates in Drexel's College of Engineering, School of Biomedical Engineering, and the iSchool. It is particularly but not exclusively geared to women and others underrepresented in the technological fields. Founded in 1997, MentorNet provides highly motivated protégés from many of the world's top colleges and universities with positive, one-on-one, email-based mentoring relationships with mentors from industry, government, and higher education.




• • Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC)

    Drexel University is a member of the NJ/Eastern PA/DE HERC, a regional network of colleges and universities that have joined together to create a web-based search engine that lists available faculty and staff openings in this geographic region.  The database is available free of charge and we encourage its use especially for dual career searches for the partners of Drexel faculty members.  For more information on the HERC, please visit www.njepadeherc.org.

  • Drexel University Office of Faculty Development and Equity, collaboratively with Drexel Human Resources, also offers personal assistance with dual career issues for partners of Drexel faculty members.  For assistance, please contact Janet Fleetwood at 215-895-1827.
