SDSU Research Foundation Program

"I just wanted to take a minute and thank you, my teachers, and the HR certificate program for everything. I learned valuable information that I’ve really been able to apply to my job. If it wasn’t for the HR Certificate program I would not have gotten this job. I had tried so hard making it in the HR industry and only after receiving my HR Certificate did doors begin to open. It took a lot of hard work and dedication on my part but the instructors made it fun and I’m so glad I did it! So thanks for being a part of that!"

- Kathryn Shane, Benefits Account Manager, Westland Insurance Brokers
