She was studying electrical engineering at Wright State University in the mid-1990s when she left to raise a family and start a career.
Now she’s back.
Danita Sani, formerly Danita Barnes, is among the first wave of students in the Wright State Business Degree Completion Program.
The novel initiative is aimed at Miami Valley residents between the ages of 25 and 45 who already have completed a minimum of 60 semester credit hours — with some credit hours in business — and want to return to college to complete a bachelor’s degree in business.
Sani was accepted to the Raj Soin College of Business prior to turning 45 and majors in human resource management, which prepares students for careers that support organizations with employee development programs.
Shu Schiller, Ph.D., professor of information systems and associate dean of the College of Business, said that Sani is a great example of how students can benefit from the Business Degree Completion Program.
“She is determined to finish and takes two or three courses each term while working full time,” said Schiller. “At work, she is involved with HR duties, so her study is relevant and can be applied right away.”
