For
the
second
year
in
a
row,
the
Baldwin
Wallace
student
chapter
of
the
Society
for
Human
Resource
Management
(SHRM)
earned
a
SHRM
Superior
Merit
Award
for
the
2017-2018
academic
year.
The annual SHRM Merit Awards recognize chapters for excellence in chapter programming and operations, support of and connection to the local HR community, SHRM engagement and upholding of the organization's values.
In addition to this top honor for the chapter, Gwyn Dubel '19, chapter president, received the Outstanding Leader of the Year Award at the 2018 BW Student Life and Leadership Awards.
The BW chapter of SHRM continues to grow and to send representatives to national events.
In June, Dubel and fellow members Alli Zarlinga '20 and Emma Hubbard '21 attended the SHRM Annual Conference and Exposition in Chicago. This is the first time BW has been represented at this conference.
"I am beyond grateful to have attended the SHRM Annual Conference because I gained knowledge on more aspects of human resources that I may not have been able to learn in a classroom setting or textbook," said Zarlinga.
At
the
conference,
the
students
were
able
to
network
with
international
HR
leaders,
listen
to
speakers
such
as
Facebook
COO
Sheryl
Sandberg
and
New
York
Times
bestselling
author
Adam
Grant
and
attend
sessions
focusing
on
different
aspects
of
HR
and
professional
development.
Another highlight was their appearance in a SHRM Facebook Live segment along with alumnus Jaelen Hollinger '17, representing the Cleveland Foundation at the conference.
"Our student chapter of SHRM is so thankful to have attended the annual conference and exposition and make connections in the international HR community," Dubel shared.
