Carol Nelson - Bagley, Minnesota
When Ms. Carol Nelson enrolled in California National University’s Master’s of Human Resources Management program, she was living in Nairobi, Kenya training in Human Resources practices. She found that classes she was taking in the Master’s program helped her to strengthen Kenyan nationals’ ability to lead and influence others.
Carol graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 3.87 GPA. Her thesis, Barriers to Latino Advancement in Manufacturing Companies, was based on her study to determine what the unseen barrers were to Latino advancement for a large manufacturing company that was interested in helping their Latino employees advance within their company.
Obtaining a Master’s degree has earned Carol an exciting new career opportunity and an outreach role within her local community. Currently, she is working as a Human Resources Coordinator for a construction company, Northstar Materials, Inc. and serves as a volunteer on a community task force that has been commissioned to develop a vision for a small, diminishing community.
“I have been selected to help facilitate the strategic planning meetings for our region which includes seven construction companies in the Midwest. This is an accomplishment that I have been privileged to receive in part because of my degree from CNU.”
