HR students join professionals to charter SHRM chapter
COOKEVILLLE, Tenn. (Dec. 12, 2003) – Tennessee Tech University’s
student chapter of the Society of Human Resource Management recently celebrated
its charter membership with members of the Upper Cumberland SHRM organization.
National SHRM student program manager Chuck Salvetti presented the student
organization a charter plaque during a ceremony held at a luncheon meeting
of the UC chapter.
“It was an honor to attend the chartering of the Tennessee Tech
student chapter and exhilarating to meet such a professional and motivated
group of students,” said Salvetti. “With the leadership of their
adviser, Chris Miller, I expect great things from these future HR leaders.”
SHRM is the world’s largest association devoted to human resource
management. The organization’s student program was created to promote
interaction between students and practitioners.
“Part of our local chapter’s overall mission has been to help
establish a student chapter and support future human resource managers
with information, networking and internship opportunities,” said
Sheryl Ransom, human resource manager at Metcom and chapter liaison.
TTU’s charter president Candice Vaughn said the professional organization’s
support has been invaluable in providing the contacts needed to help students
pursue career goals.
“Having this chapter on campus will provide participating students
with access to business professionals, scholarship programs and resources
that otherwise would be inaccessible to us,” said Vaughn, a senior
human resource management major from McMinnville.
