Each year at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters new students are asked to complete a brief orientation to the M.S. Degree Program in Human Resources at Western Carolina University. Participants will need to have Windows Media Player and PowerPoint or the PowerPoint 2003 Viewer installed on a computer equipped with speakers.

The purpose of this online training is to help us get better acquainted with one another and to provide you the information you need to function in the Human Resources learning environment at WCU. Over the next few minutes we invite you to participate in several online activities. These activities are listed below and include viewing several short PowerPoint movies and completing a new student questionnaire. 

If you have any difficulties with the following activities, please e-mail Dr. John Sherlock at sherlock@email.wcu.edu
