Become Certified as a Search Advocate at MC

Next Training Cohort: August 15–18
Registration Deadline: August 3

The Office of Equity and Inclusion (OIE) and the Office of Human Resources and Strategic Talent Management are implementing a Search Advocate Program as a part of the College’s recruitment and hiring process. This program will help Montgomery College hiring managers, search committees, and employees learn to utilize language that is equitable, inclusive, and creates opportunities rather than barriers.
The Office of Equity and Inclusion will host the next Search Advocate Training cohort from Monday, August 15, through Thursday, August 18, from 1–5 p.m. Attendance at all four sessions is required in order to be certified as a Search Advocate.
The registration deadline is Wednesday, August 3, by 5 p.m.
Anne Gillies, director of the Search Advocate Program at Oregon State University, will lead the training sessions. The Search Advocacy program at the College is modeled and based on the work of Ms. Gillies, a highly-respected pioneer and leader in this work.
For more information about this training, see the flyer or email George Rice III with any questions.
