Welcome …

…to the Office of the Vice President for Talent Development and Human Resources at The University of Akron. To achieve our shared mission, we recruit, retain, and develop the very best talent. We are committed to creating a community of high performing individuals and teams to go beyond what is simply required to achieve extraordinary results in student success, global relevance, collaboration, community, and integrated planning. Sustained and focused attention to efficient human resources administration and effective talent development will support our community as we work together to realize our shared vision.

 Innovative and competitive recruitment strategies will attract and yield the best candidates through both the creative use of technology and the development of effective individual outreach and professional networking. Intentional outreach to diverse populations and efficient and cost-effective employee immigration services and other support systems will meet the needs of an increasingly international workforce. We recognize that the members of our diverse community have different life experiences, opportunities, and obstacles and we respond to these differences in ways that fully support the success of each community member. We are committed to service, respectful communications, creative problem-solving, collaborative decision-making, and continuous improvement in all that we do.

Let us know how we can help!
