Phil Walnock Receives Executive Graduate Certificate from Lehigh University


Posted February 15, 2014 by pzmediainc1

Phil Walnock goes back to school for a third time to earn an Executive Graduate Certificate.

 
Starting in 1995, Phil Walnock has been on a mission to receive a well-rounded and complete education for himself. Initially, he left Stroudsburg University with a bachelor of arts in sociology. But, after starting work at Verizon, he knew that Phil Walnock really wanted to be able to move up in the company. Thus, he earned a master of science in management from Stevens Institute of Technology in 2005.

Phil Walnock continued to gain more skills as he gained more education. Today, Phil Walnock boasts knowledge of construction management, electrical transmission, electrical distribution, vegetation management, program management, project management, leadership, employee relations, and much more.

His job experience has directly influenced his skill set, but Phil Walnock also believes that he has his education and his family to thank for a lot of it as well. “My wife and kids have really been there for me throughout everything and I am so thankful for that. Without their support, getting though the last few years of school would have been much more difficult and I might not be where I am today.”

Most recently, though Phil Walnock has been able to add another educational achievement to his list, an Executive Graduate Certificate in Corporate Entrepreneurship. A certificate is a little different than a degree. This is partially because it takes less time, but also because it tends to focus much more on one aspect of a topic, as opposed to the broader educational experience offered by a degree program.

This specialized education has provided Phil Walnock with everything he needs to continue moving up in the corporate world. He started at the bottom and has steadily worked his way to the top through determination and hard work. His time at Lehigh earning the certificate also provided him with a chance to become more aware of what he wants to get out of life. Phil Walnock believes that consistent self improvement and a willingness to learn new things are the cornerstones of success. Without these attributes, he would likely not be the Manager of Strategic Projects at a utilities company in Cherryville, nor would he have completed such extensive education.
