South Carolina MHR

Human Resources requires you to be a team player. ⚾️

HR invited their interns out for a Red’s game. Here’s Brandon Jackson enjoying his time being a team player inside and outside of the office.

🐓 The University of South Carolina is full of traditions and quirks, but not all of them are obvious to those outside of the Gamecock community. 🐓

Alumni and current students, what’s important for our incoming students to know? We want to make sure they’re ready to be Gamecocks when they arrive.

Two of our second-year students, Carmen and Justice, were able to meet and talk with the CHRO of , Patrick McLaughlin! Don’t be fooled, this isn’t just a photo op.

In our program, students get to hear from and speak with executive leaders on a weekly basis. Not only that, but our interns engage and work with HR leaders at their companies all summer long.

To all our interns out there, how have your summer work experiences been so far? 🔎

✨ Interview Tip #1 Always dress for success… which includes bottoms! ✨

Are you an incoming student? Not quite sure what to wear to an interview?

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! During these next few months, we’ll be sharing our favorite tips for looking sharp, places to find professional clothes *without breaking the bank*, and how to be professional without losing your personal style.

If there’s something attire-related that you’re worried about, tell us in the comments! Alumni—what’s your favorite professional attire hack???

Did you think our students would all intern in Columbia?? Think again!

Olivia () and Denzel () are living it up in NYC this summer.

Amy () and Kelly () are in Greenville and Charleston. Wear sunscreen, ladies!

Calbi () and Caroline () are in Seattle, WA. Don’t forget to add 3 hours to the time when you text them, East Coast friends!

Molly and Karlyn () are in Chicago, IL.

Work for one of their companies or live in their city? Leave a comment with your recommendations for networking and things to do after work. 🎉

You know that our program not only has exceptional academic and professional opportunities, but do you know about the social ones?

The MHRA (a student-run organization!) puts on social events for our students to relax and hang out throughout the semester. These photos show their end of semester cookout from last month!

What events should they put on next?

The first round of internship start dates begin next week! 😱

But don’t worry, our students are soaking up their free time—going into the city, visiting the beach, and exploring new restaurants!

What is your favorite way to vacay?

That’s a wrap on spring semester! 🥰

Alumni—what advice would you share with our students heading into their internships?

🎉Congratulations to the last four groups on finishing the semester! 🎉

We’re so proud of all the work our first years put in these last two semesters. Let’s hear it for the class of 2022!

Can’t wait to see you back in the fall as SECOND years!! 😭 💔

🎉 Time to celebrate our students! 🎉

These four teams have successfully completed their Staffing, Compensation, Learning & Development, and Accounting projects. Let’s show them love for all they’ve accomplished! 👏

P.s. If you’re sitting there and wondering, “Why is the first group in suits but also not? 🤔” Their L&D project proposal was for employees who work from home—i.e business on the top, comfort on the bottom.

Much love to and who could not be tagged because of Insta’s limit. ❤️

If you’ve gotten the pleasure of meeting with an MHR student ambassador, then you’ve indirectly met this star!

Introducing Rianna Gaddy, a current first-year student. Rianna attended where she studied International Business and HR Management with a minor in Japanese. She was also involved in the Black Business Students Association and the Japanese Culture Association. As mentioned above, Rianna coordinates the Student Ambassadors for the MHR program.

This summer, Rianna will be joining in the Chicago area. She’s looking forward to building hands-on experience and applying what she’s learned in the classroom into the workplace.
