Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP, President & CEO, SHRM. โThe accomplishments of Athens State University SHRM reflect the innovation, leadership, and dedication that will shape tomorrowโs workplaces. I applaud their success and ability to drive innovative programming, professional development, and a deeper interest in HR.โ
SHRM student chapters have the opportunity to earn an award based on the number of activities they complete during the merit award cycle, the most recent one of which lasted from May 1, 2025, to April 30, 2026.
