Search Advocate Program

Weber State University is dedicated to the improvement of educational access and quality by creating an environment where all are welcome, and opportunities are available for students, faculty and staff to reach their full potential. We are committed to working toward the elimination of disparities in educational outcomes for underserved and underrepresented students.

Weber State’s Search Advocate Program, housed in Human Resources, is designed to expand candidate pools, enhance equity and mitigate bias in the hiring process. Through the program, hiring committees participate in unconscious bias training and are given practical strategies to incorporate inclusivity and equity throughout the hiring process. The program also provides guidance and resources to hiring managers while WSU’s Human Resources supports the process through the advertising and recruiting efforts of the positions.
