When Andrew Bertucci started at the School in Spring 2017, he could not have predicted how LER would influence his career in HR.

After interning with Maxim Integrated, Andrew joined the organization full-time in July as a Talent Acquisition Analyst. Shortly thereafter, Andrew's mom, Joan, started the online MHRIR program at LER. 

Andrew writes, "The education and career services at LER are second to none, and I knew the program would give me the tools in order to succeed in HR. ER network in companies all around the US, connections you make with your cohort, professional development, the professors are amazing and challenge you to think critically." His success and transformative experience at the School convinced Joan to apply. 

Joan is currently the Director of Human Resources for Peace Village senior living community in Palos Park, Illinois. Joan has over twenty years of experience in human resources and was looking for a master's program that would be perfect for her work schedule. After Andrew's graduation from LER in May 2018, her respect the program encouraged her to pursue the online MHRIR.
