Manager's Toolkit Diversity Conversation
One of Westmont’s long-range priorities is to diversify the campus, both in terms of its programs and its people.
As a liberal arts college rooted in Christ, we celebrate diversity as an aspect of God’s creation; we strive to create community out of rich diversity as an aspect of building God’s Kingdom in the world; we value the range of perspectives on the world that stimulates intellectual and personal growth; and we seek for faculty and staff to apprentice students in the art of interacting with diversity in constructive ways.
As we work together to identify a greater number of diverse applicants, please keep in mind that Westmont is simultaneously committed to:
- Hiring the best candidates
- Working harder at diversifying applicant pools
To support our goal in diversifying applicant pools, each hiring manager will meet during with the Chief Diversity Officer before general recruitment for the position begins. This conversation is intended to determine what special efforts, if any, will be taken to alert underrepresented groups about the opening and to recruit members of their groups as candidates, and to develop an agreed-upon recruitment strategy.
Diversity recruiting sources are provided in the requisition memo sent to the Hiring Manager.
