HigherEdJobs Launches Military-Focused Online Community

Veterans and reservists working in higher education have unique needs, from flexible leave benefits to community-building opportunities with like-minded individuals. If you’re a military-connected higher education professional or employed in a veteran affairs office on campus, HigherEdJobs’ newest venture was designed just for you. We recently launched HigherEdMilitary, the first and only online community for military-connected professionals serving higher education.

Many know HigherEdJobs as a leading resource for jobs and career advice in the higher education industry. The vision for HigherEdMilitary is rooted in the growing need for a space dedicated to veterans, reservists, and the professionals who support them.

“We found ourselves inspired by the deep commitment to service that veterans and military-connected faculty and staff have towards the academic community,” said Andrew Hibel, chief operating officer and co-founder of HigherEdJobs. “We’re hoping we can serve them, just as they have served us.”

As a “one-stop-shop” of news, information, and job opportunities from colleges and universities actively recruiting military-connected professionals, HigherEdMilitary strives to provide a platform for an underserved but essential audience.

“We are grateful to the military-connected faculty and professionals who partnered with us and volunteered their expertise to help guide us as we developed HigherEdMilitary,” added John Ikenberry, president and co-founder of HigherEdJobs. “As the site continues to develop and grow, we hope to provide our users with a unique experience that allows them to stay informed and feel connected to their peers.”

We hope HigherEdMilitary can provide support in navigating the many nuances of being a military-connected higher education professional. Whether you’re a job seeker looking for a military-friendly institution and career resources or a student affairs professional seeking to better serve veterans and reservists, HigherEdMilitary is here to help.
