Student Organizations
We encourage you to get involved in an HRM student organization. Participation in student activities is a great way to network with other students and industry leaders, build valuable leadership experience, and have fun! Engaging as a leader in one of the HRM clubs is another way to differentiate yourself from your HRM peers and it looks great on your resume!
Join us for the Club Night Pathway, at the beginning of each semester, to learn more about each organization.
