Health Care Human Resources & Organizations is available for Fall 2009. This course will be followed in spring 2010 with two additional courses, Fundamentals of Health Information Technology Management, and Healthcare Finance and Economics.

Look for two more courses to follow in summer and fall of 2010.

Register for Fall as soon as possible to have the widest choice of classes.

Please do NOT register for more classes than you intend to take -- this prevents other students from having access to these courses. If a course you want is already full, contact Jan Stewart (stewarjm@uwec.edu) to be put on the wait list.

James Burkhardt has been named the Consortium 2009 Outstanding student. Burkhardt has an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from Michigan Technological University. He has worked for 3M for the past 13 years, in three different locations, and is currently employed in the Knoxville, Iowa plant.

Burkhardt is the product manager for 3M’s tape fastening systems, and says that the MBA has strengthened his knowledge and provided a framework for how finance, IT, and marketing relate to his position as a product manager. Specifically, he attributes the knowledge that he gained from the MBA core courses to giving him a better understanding of “big business” goals, and has been able to put that knowledge to practical use in his current role.

Fourteen Consortium students were honored in the May Commencement Ceremony which took place at UW-Eau Claire this past weekend. For more details on the graduates and an archived video of the ceremony,visit Spring Commencement
