An advisory council of management and human resource (HR) professionals serves as a valuable resource to the Department of Management, Information Systems and Quantitative Methods to ensure the curriculums for the Management and HR Management programs align with industry needs and students are prepared for a career in the professions. Council members provide practitioner review of and input to curriculum, learning objectives, and class content to ensure alignment with the constantly changing business environment. Council members also serve as mentors, sponsor internships at their companies, and offer project assignments for students.
