New Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy and Development
Effective July 1, 2009, a new department has been created that integrates the business and marketing education, human resource development and adult education, and comprehensive WHRE programs from the Department of Work and Human Resource Education (WHRE) into the department formerly known as Educational Policy and Administration (EdPA). The name of this new department is Organizational Leadership, Policy and Development (OLPD). It will offer exciting opportunities for collaboration and interdisciplinary education and research. Click here for details.

 

WHRE Faculty

The department is organized into a number of faculty groups through which it delivers its instructional programs. The average annual accomplishments of the faculty include over 100 articles, chapters, books, research monographs, and curriculum guides. In addition, the faculty will typically make well over 100 presentations to professional groups and associations at the local, state, national, and international levels each year. During 1994-95, the faculty received more than $1.6 million dollars in externally funded grants and contracts for research and development and training. In addition to being involved with many secondary and post-secondary educational institutions, more than 50 business firms, organizations, and agencies took part in the department's research and training this past year.
