HRM Activities
Society For Human Resource Management
One goal of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) is to provide students with valuable networking experience and professional connections in the human resource field. The organization does this through collegiate chapters that act as “forums for personal and professional development.”
Fisher’s chapter of the SHRM hosts weekly guest speakers who talk about their careers in human resources and give professional advice for landing a job after graduation. Many of these guest speakers are successful alumni and include Jamie VonBramer, Vice-President for HR Consulting Services at HR Works and Stephani Dutcher, Talent Acquisition Consultant with Excellus BlueCross BlueShield.
The chapter also schedules different professional development opportunities throughout the year and invites professionals from the local and national SHRM to educate students on the benefits of membership in SHRM.
