CSB Faculty

Derena Cedeno
Director of Admissions
"Our students tend to be very career oriented. Regardless of age or background, their goal is to receive the type of hands-on, high quality career training that will make them highly marketable in today's business climate. CSB makes it possible for students to train for a career in just 18 months. Our students are highly attracted to the opportunity of getting through school and starting a career in less than 2 years. While most of our students will opt to take advantage of placement services and begin their career immediately upon graduation, we also have many students who successfully transfer into bachelor degree programs. CSB students want a no-nonsense approach to career preparation – and that is exactly what we offer them."
Connie Winland
Administrative Assistant
"I really enjoy being part of the system that molds a student into a confident and skilled employee. It is very rewarding to watch them from when they first walk in the door, wide eyed and a little unsure, to when they complete their program and walk out the door mature, confident and ready to work."
Paul Culbertson
Placement Director
"I truly believe that CSB students are more prepared and ready to take on the challenges ahead of them thanks to the education and self confidence they have gained from our school."
Gail Dougherty
Bursar
"CSB assists every student in applying for financial aid resulting in his/her own maximum eligibility. In addition, CSB offers individual payment plans."
Craig D. Ellis
Controller
"Most of my duties involve the financial management and accounting functions of Consolidated School of Business at the corporate level. Because of these duties, I have very little personal interaction with the students on a daily basis. However, one area where I play a role in the student's education is the acquisition and upgrading of computers, lab equipment, classroom equipment, etc. At Consolidated School of Business, we strive to provide our students an education using state of the art technology in a comfortable and pleasant environment."
Diane M. Grant
Placement Director
"CSB's Placement Department is consistently working with students in their first block class, Personal Career Development. Midway through the student's course of study, the Placement Director plays an active role in assisting in the development of interpersonal and nonverbal communications, as well as the awareness of personal strengths and abilities in the Self Awareness class. CSB's Placement Department plays an integral role in every student's program of study."
Jennifer Hatch
Director of Student Services
"To live your life without passion for living would be dull and depressing. The same holds true for your career. With passion, a career changes from just a job into a desirable, fulfilling, and rewarding experience.

A person with passion for their career loves their job and has a happier life."

Linda Hoffmaster
Data Systems Director
Bill Hoyt
Financial Aid Director
"The most common misconception is that a student or family cannot afford to attend a business, trade, technical school, or college. In fact, most can—especially the student or family with low to moderate income. Everyone needs to apply for aid to see if the process will work for them. Helping students and families complete the FAFSA form is one of the most important services we provide."
Linda D. Krushinsky
Director of Student Services

"Learning is a natural process, a vital part of life, an every day occurrence, whether it is consciously recognized or not. Our student body is full of diversity - different age groups, personalities, cultures, and life experiences. Having a career in education gives me the opportunity to learn from my students while facilitating their quest to learn."

Deb Lavetan
Fiscal Assistant
"I like doing behind-the-scene functions of running both CSB schools. There is a sense of purpose in keeping the bills paid, maintaining employee records, and producing spreadsheets."
Patricia Marcus
Vice President of Administration
"CSB's future is bright because we have the vision, dedication and courage to change as the business world changes. We also possess the best team of experienced educators and staff that can be found anywhere. Everyone on our team is devoted to each student's success. This dynamic combination of experience, willingness to reinvent ourselves and sincere devotion to our students will result in a very bright future."
Libby Paul
Admissions Representative
"Enrolling in a CSB program is a very easy and enjoyable process. As a prospective student, you are invited to meet with an Admissions Representative to answer all of your questions about how CSB can meet your educational and career goals. CSB takes the stress out of preparing for school. Come check us out!"
Tiffany Richer
Receptionist
"I strive to greet everyone who comes through the door or calls on the phone with a smile. It's important for me to effectively represent CSB's brand and I believe I do so by dealing politely and professionally with everyone with whom I come into contact."
Kathleen Rodgers
Administrative Support / Assistant Instructor
"As an adult student at CSB, I was amazed at how much I enjoyed the learning process. When I was offered a job here, I jumped at the chance. I am a people person, and I think that every day gives us the opportunity to learn something new. In my position, I am able to spend a lot of one-on-one time with the students, and I really enjoy that experience. This career has afforded me a way to make a difference in the lives of a very diverse population."
Reza Salari
Data Systems Director

"I decided to pursue a career in education because I love to learn. Becoming a teacher affords me the opportunity to learn nonstop and to share my experience with my students in the hopes of guiding them in a right path so they can reach their goal and become a successful member of society."

Sue Shuff
Admissions Representative
"CSB provides skill based training programs that are necessary to compete in the current business environment. Every student completes an internship in preparation for the job market, which makes attending CSB an excellent choice."
Sandy Swanger
Admissions Representative
"The personal touch and small classes which offer individual attention from instructors are both reasons that I believe CSB is set apart from other career institutions and technical schools."
