Statement from the President

Auburn University is dedicated to providing a welcoming, inclusive environment for all students, faculty, and staff.  Unity and diversity are extremely important values at Auburn University.

The diversity of our faculty and staff brings strength to the university. It is particularly important to keep this in mind during the recruitment and hiring process. Keeping that diversity objective in focus with each search gives us an opportunity to attract, hire and retain the talented faculty and staff we want and need for academic excellence.

The Online Search Committee Training Module provides instruction and guidance for our faculty, and staff hiring committees as they go through the process of recruiting, hiring, and retaining outstanding and diverse faculty and staff employees.

All hiring supervisors, search committee chairs and members should complete the Online Training Module before beginning the search process for any recruitment.

The search committee is the cornerstone of any successful search process. Hopefully you and your search committees will find this training module a valuable tool in performing this important responsibility for the University.
