HR STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Student Chapter Meetings
Meetings will be arranged by and agendas planned by the student officers and members to ensure that the meetings are of greatest value and interest to the student chapter members.
The College Relations Chair encourages SHRM Greater Greensboro members to host a student chapter meeting at their company. Please contact College Relations Chair to arrange this activity.
Guest Speakers/Workshops
Many of SHRM Greater Greensboro’s members are experts in their field of HR and are recognized leaders in the human resources arena. The student chapter should feel free to tap into this talent and vast pool of knowledge. Faculty is encouraged to contact the College Relations Chair with requests for classroom speakers or with ideas for topics and speakers for student chapter meetings. Among the possibilities are workshops on resume writing and mock interviews conducted by SHRM Greater Greensboro members.
Internships
Internships give students an opportunity to complement their education with career-related experience. Active members of SHRM Greater Greensboro-sponsored student chapters who have the appropriate education and/or experience to qualify for an internship in human resources have the opportunity to submit their resume to the College Relations Chair. Contact the SHRM Greater Greensboro College Relations Chair (hrmagshrm@hrmag.org) for more information on the process. The College Relations Core Leadership Area of SHRM Greater Greensboro may have limited funds available for paid internship opportunities with SHRM Greater Greensboro member organizations. SHRM Greater Greensboro member companies and the College Relations Chair can jointly develop a compliant internship opportunity. We can determine an hourly pay rate based on the internship duration, scheduled hours and available budget funds. A lump sum payment would be made to the SHRM Greater Greensboro member company, who would pay the student intern based on hours worked (using a written verification system) on a weekly basis, subject to tax withholding and the issuance of a W-2. The College Relations Chair is happy to assist SHRM Greater Greensboro members in developing effective internship opportunities.

Resume Book
Faculty advisors may work with their students to create a Resume Book of HR student resumes. These books may be made available to SHRM Greater Greensboro members through an email request to hrmagshrm@hrmag.org.
Contributions to SHRM Greater Greensboro News
SHRM Greater Greensboro issues a newsletter to its members. Faculty advisors and students are encouraged to contribute articles to the SHRM Greater Greensboro News regarding HR student activities and accomplishments. Student HR Chapter article contributions should be sent to hrmagshrm@hrmag.org.
Site Visits, Job Shadowing, and Mentoring
SHRM Greater Greensboro members are encouraged to volunteer and host a small group of student chapter members for a site visit at their company. Activities recommended for the site visit include a facility tour, overview of your organization (function and structure) and a discussion of the HR function including structure and daily tasks. Site visits help students better understand the corporate human resources management function.
Alternatively you may volunteer to host one student chapter member for a job shadowing opportunity with you. The SHRM Greater Greensboro College Relations Chair will seek to match interested students with volunteers.
Lastly, SHRM Greater Greensboro members are encouraged to volunteer to mentor a student chapter member. Mentors are requested for a commitment of one semester minimum, although it may continue longer as agreed between the mentor and student. Mentors will be expected to communicate with their student at least once per month.
Suggested mentoring activities include: going to lunch together, attending meetings or a training program together, job shadowing, discussing professional protocol, discussing how to handle day-to-day HR challenges, etc.
For SHRM Greater Greensboro members who are unable to commit the time or resources to offer an internship, these are excellent ways for you to help a student, identify a future intern, or new hire for your organization.
Student Presentations at SHRM Greater Greensboro Meetings
The College Relations Chair will work with the SHRM Greater Greensboro Board and Faculty Advisors to identify opportunities for student presentations at SHRM Greater Greensboro meetings. In addition to giving students the opportunity to enhance their presentation skills and to share learning with SHRM Greater Greensboro members, such presentations help encourage involvement of more SHRM Greater Greensboro members in student activities. Faculty advisors and students are encouraged to submit to the SHRM Greater Greensboro College Relations Chair their ideas for program topics and/or speakers.
