Dianne Harrison, president of California State University, Northridge, says she has found a deep disconnect between what hiring managers expect and the caliber of applicants.

They also expect new employees to have a command of the discipline in which they have earned a degree, as well as an interest in staying current in their field through professional development opportunities.
