Only OPWL program graduates receive this exclusive medallion. I was also honored to be recognized along with my fellow graduates who achieved a 4.0 grade point average during the Masters program.

My efforts were recognized by the BSU OPWL Faculty. My professors are among the world’s foremost experts in Human Performance Improvement, and their endorsement of my competency is indeed an honor.

It was a privilege to meet and study with graduate candidates from the U.S. and abroad, and to work with team members from across the country on the major real-world projects required to meet the degree requirements. I am humbled to have had the opportunity to assist in their learning journey, and to be recognized by faculty for this award.
