“Providing executive education for HR professionals
is an important mission for the College of Business,” said
David Mielke, dean of EMU’s College of Business. “It
is great to receive the recognition for our work and the
success of the program.”
“The SHRM Learning System course is an excellent
way for HR professionals to enhance their HR learning base.
Being a partner with SHRM in providing this training is
a great way for EMU to help contribute to the professional
