Harrisburg University of Science and Technology is delighted to announce that we have again expanded the University’s Business-Centered Professional Development IT Board of Advisors.

The Advisory Board has been established to guide the HU Professional Development team’s vision of empowering the “Workforce of the Future.”

Each year, HU hosts nearly 50 professional development offerings for 4,000 registrants – from free online courses, to free community forums, to multi-month certificate courses, exam certification trainings, and summits featuring nationally acclaimed technology experts.

This dedicated advisory board collaborates with HU to provide their keen insight and business experience.  Their efforts help us to meet the professional development demands of our students who utilize the University’s Centers and Institutes from a variety of corporate and government organizations.

The board’s key functions include:

  • Assisting with curriculum development and content selection
  • Identifying new leading-edge methods for learning
  • Providing perspective unique to the business community

“We truly are thrilled to have Mr. Watts, Mr. Livingston and Ms. Engles increase the depth and range of this advisory board – their backgrounds in Insurance, Banking and Healthcare respectively will certainly position HU to better serve the Technology Community’s Professional Development needs” said Paul Roos, Harrisburg University Associate Vice President of Workforce Development.
