"The I/O staff at MTSU are not only knowledgeable about their field but have the practical experience to enrich the learning. What got my career off to a start was having the practicum experience under my belt, offered to me by Mike Hein and Judy Van Hein. What has allowed me to propel myself through the HR and training functions was being able to measure and use data to support the business decisions I was making. The computer and statistics experience that the program offered me gave me the competitive advantage I needed, to add more value to my organization. Above all else, it was the staff's 'whatever it takes' attitude and commitment that made the difference for me."
