SEVEN YEARS RUNNING: The Society for Human
Resource Management (SHRM) student chapter
at EMU
was selected as one of the top 10
Outstanding Student
Chapter Award winners for
2008-09, marking the
seventh straight year the
chapter has accomplished
the feat. |
The chapter will receive special recognition and a plaque
at the June 27 national SHRM conference in New Orleans,
La.
"Being recognized in the top 10 in the country seven straight
years demonstrates the quality of students in our program" said
Fraya Wagner-Marsh, chapter adviser and head of EMU's management
department. "They learn from professionals through internships,
mentoring, job shadowing and attending local professional
meetings and workshops."
To qualify for the designation, the student group accumulated
points in professional operation of the chapter, professional
development of members, support of the profession, and
partnership with local professional chapters of SHRM such
as the Human Resource Association of Greater Detroit and
the Greater Ann Arbor chapter of SHRM.
The EMU SHRM chapter was chartered in 1995 to update students
with the latest developments in human resources and to
prepare them for a career in the field.
SHRM is the world's largest association devoted to human
resource management. The society serves the needs of HR
professionals and advances the interests of the HR profession.
Founded in 1948, SHRM has more than 225,000 members in
more than 125 countries and more than 575 affiliated chapters.
