graduate program: Human Resource Development

HRD Alumni

August 1992, although Xavier had a more traditional Master of Education in Personnel Training, Education & Development 1980-1992. There are over 500 HRD alumni as of May 2008. Although many of them work in the Greater Cincinnati Area, we have international alums in Great Britain and Slovakia, and alumni over the US. We also have alumni who commuted to Cincinnati for the HRD Program from Cleveland, Dayton and Columbus, Ohio, as well as Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky. In fact, we've had students who have commuted from Missouri, Michigan, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Alabama, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Costa Rica! 

Our alumni are employed in just about every industry and type of job. Many advance in their organization after graduation, while some decide to use their enhanced skills in their current positions. Some want to remain specialists in their field, while others enjoy the generalist opportunities in management or human resources. We sponsor Alumni get-togethers for alumni and current HRD students to return and network with their colleagues.

Here's some capsule information about each of our 16 groups of alumni. 

Class I (Graduated May 1994)

Class I, our charter group of students, graduated in May 1994. All 35 students had the "opportunity" to shape the direction of the HRD program at Xavier with their very constructive and welcome suggestions and insights into the field of HRD. We will always be thankful for their patience and good humor during the process of developing an innovative and responsive HRD curriculum!

Class II (Graduated August 1994)

Class II, was our first and only mid-year cohort. When we began the HRD program in August 1992, we had so many students on a waiting list that we decided to initiate another group starting in January 1993. Because we wanted to allow them to graduate in 1994, we compressed their schedule to 19 months. It was quite a hectic time, as the 32 students had to work through two summers and accomplished their program within a 19-month, rather than 21-month timeframe.
