Upper Midwest HERC

The Upper Midwest Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (UMW HERC), established in 2008, represents over 55 colleges and universities in Minnesota and Wisconsin that are committed to enhancing diversity and dual career hiring. Through its collective website, national and regional marketing initiatives, diversity partnerships, networking forums, and discount services, UMW HERC has become the premier higher education recruitment resource for the region. The UMW HERC is governed by an advisory board drawn from the member institutions in its five sub-regions--Lake Superior, Lakes and Valley, Minneapolis/St. Paul Metropolitan Area, Mississippi Valley, and Southern Prairie—and is headquartered at its lead institution, the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.
