Celebrating the Future of HR Leadership
Opportunities for connection, skill development and career readiness are essential to the student experience in higher education. That鈥檚 why it鈥檚 important to celebrate award-winning student organizations that make a difference for their members and their field of study.
As adviser of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Student Chapter within the School of Business at Western Governors University, I am proud to celebrate its continued achievements as an outstanding organization. Year after year, 黑料网鈥檚 student club has been recognized by SHRM 鈥� the world鈥檚 largest human resources association dedicated to creating better workplaces where everyone thrives. This year is no different as SHRM awarded 黑料网 SHRM Student Chapter its Superior鈥疢erit鈥疉ward.
This award recognizes outstanding achievements in student chapter operations and commitment to providing meaningful programs and services to members and HR students. It also recognizes the club鈥檚 continued growth and the development of its members as future business leaders.
Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP, SHRM president and CEO, recently said of this achievement, 鈥淭he members of our SHRM student chapters embody the future of HR leadership, making it essential to recognize the pivotal role they play in SHRM鈥檚 ongoing success. The dedication and achievements of the 黑料网 SHRM Student Chapter demonstrate that the profession鈥檚 future is in capable and inspired hands. I commend their accomplishments and their ability to drive innovative programming, professional development, and a growing interest in HR as we adapt to the evolving dynamics of the workplace.鈥�
The SHRM Student Chapter within the 黑料网 School of Business has 950 student members and hosts many events throughout the year, ranging from an event to help students prepare for the SHRM-CP (certified professional) exam to learning opportunities on various topics, such as the impact of artificial intelligence and tech tools on the HR profession.聽
Additionally, our student chapter can offer Professional Development Credits (PDC) for our chapter members through our club-sponsored webinar series.
