The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) has
awarded a 2013-2014 Outstanding Student Chapter designation to the Illinois
State University-SHRM student chapter. This
designation is awarded to a select number of SHRM student chapters whose
programs and activities were at a level that distinguished them from other
chapters. This marks the second time ISU-SHRM has been recognized as an
Outstanding Student Chapter, first in 2010.
SHRM
is the world’s largest association devoted to human resource management.
Representing more than 275,000 professional and 19,000 student members in over
140 countries, the association serves the needs of HR professionals and
advances the interests of the HR profession.
The SHRM student chapter merit award program, which began
in 1972, exists to encourage development of more effective student chapters and
to promote outstanding activities and projects by student chapters in the
following areas: student chapter requirements, chapter operations, chapter
programming and professional development of members, support of the human
resource profession and SHRM engagement.
The ISU-SHRM student chapter is advised by Dr. Joseph M. Goodman and Dr. Nathan Hartman, Department
of Management and Quantitative Methods. “I’m pleased with our students’ efforts
and accomplishments,” stated Dr. Goodman. “ISU-SHRM has a tradition of
excellence. The chapter has achieved the Superior Merit Award consecutively for
the past 13 years. To be recognized by our national organization twice, as an
Outstanding Student Chapter, is an honor and a reflection of some very talented
young professionals.”
