Higher Education Resource Services (HERS) Alumnae Survey, 1976-2003 [United States] Diamond, Nancy career development career goals career guidance colleges education educational administrators educational background educators higher education job satisfaction postsecondary education professional development universities women ICPSR.V.A The Higher Education Resource Services (HERS) Alumnae Survey was designed to identify demographic and educational information and the career experiences of women administrators and faculty who attended either the HERS/Bryn Mawr Summer Institute for Women in Higher Education Administration or the HERS/Wellesley Management Institute for Women in Higher Education Administration during the years 1976 to 2003 and to examine their recollections about its utility and impact. The project, carried out in February and March 2004, used a self-administered questionnaire, which consisted primarily of closed-ended questions that asked about demographic and educational information, institutional and position characteristics, and areas of responsibility. Other questions sought information about career satisfaction and obstacles or barriers to career advancement. Respondents also were asked about their experiences transporting their new skills back to their home campuses. Two open-ended questions explored alumnae opinions about their career aspirations before and after HERS and the impact of HERS training on their careers. 2007-12-19 survey data 21100 10.3886/ICPSR21100.v1 United States 1976--2003 ICPSR metadata records are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 United States License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/us/).
