The College believes that search committees play a pivotal role in
sourcing, recruiting, assessing and recommending the most qualified and
diverse candidates for employment. Search committees are one of SUNY
Plattsburgh’s most viable assets as they are the body that represents the
College to prospective employees. The search committee as a body is
stronger when it includes an equity-minded lens to the process.

On June 1, SUNY Plattsburgh's Equity Advocate
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xaAnTOfD_rWnHAyvsIb3dUJZbVmtT-uT/view?usp=sharing>
Pilot cohort will begin their preparation, which includes a 4 part course.

This initiative is essential as SUNY Plattsburgh continues to work toward
finding the best talent while enhancing our campus community, culture, and
student success by hiring a more diverse workforce.

>From here, it gets better!
