Harrisburg University of Science and Technology is once again pleased to announce that we have an exciting addition to our Business-Centered, Professional Development IT Board of Advisors.  Welcome Mike Everly!

This Advisory Board was established in 2020 to guide the HU Professional Development team’s vision of empowering the “Workforce of the Future.” This board is currently made up of over a dozen prominent Technology Thought Leaders.

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

“Mike is a wonderful addition to our board and will provide several fresh perspectives.  While he has global responsibility for Renfro Brands from his headquarters in North Carolina,  he is also a native of Central PA and very familiar with Harrisburg University’s mission and objectives.  His diverse manufacturing, supply chain, and logistics experience will provide significant value as an advisor – further increasing our breadth to expand HU’s Professional Development offerings.” Said Paul Roos, Associate Vice President of Workforce Development at Harrisburg University.
