Testimonial
A
nthony, Masters in Gerontology Alum
I was informed of my promotion to Regional Technical Training Supervisor U.S and International Market- Hearing Aid Division for Costco. I will be in-charge of the Midwest region, Texas region, Mexico, Australia, England, France, Iceland and Spain as of now! I’ll be coming up with protocols and training on how to help take care of our patients with dementia and helping our older adults with how we deliver services. . . . I finally know that I made it! My Master’s in Gerontology definitely helped me get the position over people even with their doctorates in audiology. I want to say thank you and I am glad I chose KSU.
