The field of human resource management is growing faster than the national average. It’s easy to understand why. As job markets evolve and companies innovate to recruit the best talent, a competent, trained HR manager is critical to helping employers navigate what can be a complicated area.

We’re joined today by Senior Lecturer Cheryl Hughes, who specializes in human resource management in the for-profit and nonprofit sectors. Prior to coming to the O’Neill School, she built a career in human resources and is an expert in both the theory and practice of HR. We’re also thrilled to welcome Savier Ramirez, who is a senior pursuing his bachelor’s degree with a dual major in Law and Public Policy and Human Resources Management. Savier has been a part of the O’Neill School’s Washington Leadership Program and has served internships with the U.S. Department of State, the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, and is an instructional assistant in O’Neill’s human resources management program.
