Opportunities
John Pastere is a 2022 graduate of the Human Resource Management program. He is currently pursuing his Master of Business Administration degree at WIU.
“Throughout my time in WIU's HR Program, I gained a deeper understanding of Human Resources (HR) and the role it plays in almost every organization in the world. As a result of my participation in the HR Program, and WIU's award-winning SHRM student chapter, I am prepared for my future in HR. The HR courses helped me to excel in two HR internships: one at Carl Buddig & Company and one at School District 170. I also participated in a faculty-led Study Abroad program called 'Business Practices & Culture of Ireland' which was one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had. The WIU-SHRM student chapter enabled myself and many others to expand our HR career development. I am fortunate to receive the HR Departmental Scholar Award prior to my graduation. I have decided to stay at WIU to pursue my MBA.”
