Rider HRMA Chapter Wins National Recognition

The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) in Alexandria, VA, has awarded the Merit Chapter designation to the HRMA student chapter at Rider University for its outstanding job of providing opportunities for growth and development of members. Recently, the students gathered for a photo with the new plaque in recognition of their achievement.

“The Society for Human Resource Management’s student chapter helps to advance the human resources profession by demonstrating their knowledge and commitment to the field of human resources. This year’s student chapters serve as models of excellence, not only to the other SHRM student chapters, but those of other campus-based student organizations,” said Chuck Salvetti, SHRM’s student programs manager.

The SHRM student chapter merit award program, in existence since 1972, recognizes achievements in four broad areas: professional operation of the chapter, professional development of the members, support of the profession and partnership with SHRM, and the HRMA of Princeton, NJ.

In addition to receiving the specialized plaque, the HRMA at Rider will be recognized in SHRM’s publications and at all its conferences.
