“My career as an HR professional has given me opportunities to work with many people and organizations throughout the world in both the private and public sectors. There were those who I was glad to part ways with due to less than desirable experiences. These were who “talked the talk” about providing excellent service in order to get the business but when they were needed for urgent or out of the ordinary situations, they became fair weather friends and were hard to get support from. There were many others who gave the minimum needed to just get by. And then there are those who I can count by using the fingers of one hand (and have several left over) as being the epitome of excellence and the embodiment of exemplification; those who not only meet their obligations but who consistently surpass them and are true business partners. I’m delighted to put Clayton State University’s Center for Continuing Education in this category of excellence. They have been a source of great satisfaction for our business with their sincere care, flexibility, creativity, understanding, and ongoing support. I look forward to a great continuing and fruitful relationship with them.” —Luis E. Sample, Senior Manager, HR Panasonic Automotive Systems Company of America, Peachtree City, GA

Teach With Us! I started the Event & Meeting Planning Certificate program at Clayton State University in 2004 to share my expertise with students interested in pursuing a career in event and meeting planning. One of my main goals was to engage the students with hands on experiences that would allow them to work “real” events.

Qualena Odom-Royes CSEP, CMP Principal Event Planner, EventEssentials, LLC Clayton State University Instructor 2004 – Current

In addition to real world experiences, the curriculum includes opportunities for students to partner with a mentor in their desired field. This real world experience produces two things, an invaluable experience along with the opportunity for students to gain exposure to networking in addition to seeing the benefits first hand. My students are able to attend association meetings and events such as, monthly meetings for the Atlanta Chapter of the International Special Events Society (ISES) and Plan Your Meetings events, which enables them to build their network and make strategic partnerships for the future. I have an innate desire to learn, each class challenges me to learn something new, either from the course materials or the students. Each session is developed with the students input focusing on the aspects of event planning to include basic meeting and event planning skills. Our class capstone involves planning, coordinating and managing all aspects of a real event!
