LSHRM is interested in promoting the future of the human resources field by offering student membership and supporting a student chapter for students pursuing a career in HR. LSHRM offers a student membership for individuals engaged in taking the equivalent of at least six (6) credit hours per term in a degree-seeking program and who meet all of the following criteria:
a. Individuals who have taken or plan to take coursework which supports a demonstrated interest in the field of Human Resource Management.
b. Individuals who are not employed full-time in an exempt position or as an officer on active-duty with the U.S. Armed Forces. (Exempt employees and military officers are not eligible for student membership in the Chapter.)
You can apply for LSHRM Student Membership through the website (www.lshrm.org <http://www.lshrm.org/> ) and go to the membership section listed under “About Us”.
There is also a Kentuckiana SHRM Student Chapter. A few years ago, the Bellarmine University, Indiana University Southeast, McKendree University, Ottawa University, Spalding University, Sullivan University, University of Louisville, and Webster University students merged into one large Kentuckiana SHRM Student Chapter. Students at ALL Louisville metro area and Southern Indiana schools are invited to join the Kentuckiana SHRM Student Chapter.
For Kentuckiana SHRM Student Chapter information, contact Shelly Trent (Student Chapter Advisor) at (502) 412-8390 (she can also be reached at shelly.trent@shrm.org). Membership in the Kentuckiana SHRM Student Chapter is FREE. Just contact Shelly to have your name put on the e-mail list. The Kentuckiana SHRM Student Chapter typically meets monthly. We usually go to a Louisville-area business and the HR professional at that business is the speaker. We also have social events.
