HRD Catalog Classes
Each year HRD offers approximately 180 catalog classes to meet the training and development needs of the MSU support staff community. Ideas for these classes come from a variety of sources. Needs assessments, conducted every other year, help identify staff professional development needs. The results of these assessments guide the development of the catalog class schedule. Additionally, literature reviews and web searches identify timely and important topics to be developed into classes. Ideas for classes are always welcome. Contact Edita Herbstova with suggestions for new HRD class topics.
