Hi my name is Deb Kenny and I am a proud member of the School for Professional and Continuing Education “SPCE” – Human Resource Management Program.  I currently work for Jewel Osco, and I manage Front End Operations (point of sale training, cash variance, accounting, and general procedures) for about 90 South Area stores. There are many tools and methods that I learn about in class that I immediately apply to my daily planning and execution.  Actually, I am incorporating an ice-breaker from my Supervisory Management class recently in a Front End Manager meeting I’m presenting in May. There are other things that I have learned that simply confirm my current management style.  Regardless, the return on my education investment has already begun! What I enjoy most is when my instructor gives specific examples of how to utilize the lesson plan in real life.  The textbooks are good; current application is better! I feel fulfilled when I read the paper or hear the financial news and can relate to an issue that I may have passed up in the past – simply because I just didn’t understand it.  Statistics seem to be playing out as the election year ramps up.  Overall, my attendance at Lewis University has been an experience beyond scholastic; a very rewarding and beneficial journey to date! –Deb Kenny
