Barbara S. Calhoun, Dean College of Continuing and Professional Education

Take a moment to think about what you wanted to do with your life.

Now, think about your current situation. Are your past thoughts about your present life in sync? What does it all mean for your future?

I didn’t know that someday I’d be the dean of KSU’s Continuing Education. There were many factors along the way – such people I met and education and training I received – that set me on a path to where I am today. Alejandra Menacho spent time in the trade show industry but wanted to advance her career. Project management was at the top of her list. Her brother and niece had ties to KSU, so she naturally explored options at the university. That’s where we came in. Our Project Management certificate program was key in Alejandra’s goal. She successfully completed our 3-month course and earned her Project Management Professional certification six weeks later. These three letters – PMP – behind her name have global recognition and respect. Her employer understood the importance of this credential and lent financial support. Now, Alejandra is training for the project manager position and has her eyes set on another careerboosting trio – MBA. Read more on Page 30. As you continue to focus on your future, think about your own network and the possibilities that exist for you. Does your employer offer educational vouchers? Have you explored CobbWorks and Georgia Department of Labor’s career resources? Are you a KSU alum who is eligible for continuing education discounts? With 300+ online programs, take advantage of the many opportunities to make the connection to your future goals. Alejandra did it, and so can you. Keep reading, and let’s get started.

Coordination domination took Mattie Logan Terakami around the world with her Meeting & Event Management certificate in tow. She was featured on the cover of our magazine in 2015 and shared her experience in our program and subsequent success in the hospitality industry. As an associate account manager for a full-service meeting and event planning company – with an emphasis on incentive group travel – Mattie was able to take her talents to Germany, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and a host of other countries. “I owe my career in planning to this program,” she said. “It gives you the tools to build a career and support to help you grow and succeed.” Today, Mattie is the e-commerce manager for fab’rik (www.fabrikstyle.com), a clothing boutique company with more than 40 locations nationwide. Her Meeting & Event Management certificate and previous position are both instrumental in her new role. “Whether you get certified to plan meetings, weddings, conferences, or even travel programs, it is all about the experience,” Mattie explains. “As an event planner, you create the scene, tone, and environment of your guests. As an e-commerce manager, I create the same level of service and environment for online shoppers, to keep them coming back time and again. Our world is turning into a place where experience living is at the helm and because of this, the hospitality and service industry will always be thriving!” Education was the key for Mattie’s career progression, and she lauds the opportunities a professional certificate can provide.

“The greatest thing I have done for my career is go back to school. I had a dream, passion, and sought what I needed to in order to achieve it,” she said. “This opportunity opens so many doors! The subjects studied during my course, and real-life tests at my previous job I got through successful course completion, got me to where I am today and can get you to the next level in your professional career.” Mattie said the hospitality industry is a great fit for her due to the opportunities she has had to interact with others and make their day. Receiving positive feedback – whether it’s from an event she’s hosted or a fab’rik customer – is Mattie’s motivation. She also thrives on the creativity and ever-changing environments. “[It] ultimately keeps me coming back for more! Having a service-oriented mindset is something I’ve strived for as long as I can remember,” she said. “I may not know what I want to do for the rest of my life. But I do know that I feel comfortable knowing that continuing education is available and attainable if I seek the opportunity and always keep an open mind to grow.”

Project Management Grad Enhances Professional Trajectory

After working in the trade show

industry for six years, Alejandra Menacho was ready to take the next step. As a detailer for the Kennesaw marketing company Derse, Menacho desired to advance her career by learning to become a project manager. Already familiar with KSU due to her proximity and seeing several of her family members attend the university, she registered for CCPE’s Project Management certificate program after receiving financial support from her employer. The fact that the program was conveniently located and offered evening classes were several reasons Menacho enrolled. And the commitment from Derse to reimburse her half of the costs was just icing on the cake. “I wanted to learn more about managing projects, costs and leadership,” Menacho said. “I knew this [class] was going to be something that would help me in my career.” With the ultimate goal of earning her PMP (Project Management Professional) credential, Menacho said the class did a great job preparing her for the certification exam. The PMP is the most widelyrecognized and respected credential in the profession awarded by the PMI (Project Management Institute). Project integration and control, time and cost management, and communication and quality management are among the skill sets taught in the project management course. The three-month program is instructed by Pete Schestopol and Francine Warner, who have 50+ years of combined experience in national and international project management.

“

Additionally, it’s a registered PMI Education Provider, giving students like Menacho a top of the line experience. “I liked it being a three-month program,” she said. “It gives you time to truly understand all the information instead of being given to you in five days like most boot camps do.” Menacho cited time management, understanding more project concepts and how to handle a variety of projects as the most vital sources of information she learned in the course. She said that 80 percent of the exam preparation was provided by the class and the remaining 20 was done on her own after the class ended. “I would’ve never been able to do this by myself,” she said. “It’s important because I knew this would help me move forward in my career.” After the class concluded she continued to study the course materials and also took several practice exams. Entering the exam, Menacho felt prepared and confident due to the advice of her instructors who suggested taking it as soon as possible. Six weeks after completing the program, she passed her PMP exam. Menacho now implements the knowledge gained from the program in her workplace. As a result, she was recently alerted by her supervisor that she has been selected to begin training for her coveted project manager position. She hopes to be fully trained within six months. However, education never stops for Menacho who said her next goal is to obtain her MBA. “When you finish this class, you become very motivated,” she said.

I knew this would be something that would help me in my career. Alajandra Menacho, Project Management Graduate
