Department of
Work and Human Resource
Education (WHRE) into the
department formerly known as

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.
