Create network connections with local HR professionals.
Our undergraduate program offers a multitude of opportunities for human resource management majors to get involved on campus. Make friends, attend networking opportunities, join case competitions, and learn more about your future career in human resources.
Our student chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) is a proactive group working to expand access to information about careers in human resource management. This group has earned a chapter merit award from the national SHRM organization for its outstanding programs and activities. Further, the UTD student chapter has won three of the four statewide case competitions created by SHRM. In addition to sponsoring networking events, speakers, site visits and other HR-related activities, SHRM is also active in community service initiatives. Learn more about SHRM on its Facebook page.
UT Dallas students can also take advantage of the many opportunities provided by DallasHR, the local chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management (see DallasHR.org for specific details). UT Dallas students have regularly attended DallasHR luncheons and the HR Southwest Conference, where they network with and learn from leading HRM professionals. DallasHR also offers scholarships and grants to selected students and a mentorship program “designed to create unique, mutually beneficial relationships between students and local HR professionals.”
Student Experiences
Shriya Bahri, BS’20
Senior HR Assistant, Amazon
During my time here, there has been no dearth of opportunities to network, learn and participate in the Dallas HR space.
Do Conferences Help Your Career?
The first time I attended the HR Southwest Conference, I made a point to attend as many educational sessions as possible. Some were very beneficial in giving real-world information about certain subjects such as upcoming laws related to employment and relevant changes in legislation.
More Prepared Than I Realized
In April 2019, I had the amazing opportunity to represent the Society for Human Resource Management chapter at UT Dallas and the Jindal School’s BS in Human Resource Management program, along with Shriya Bahri, Yen Dang, and Nickole Selensky, at the 2019 TXSHRM Student Games, hosted by Baylor University.
How Business Students Network With Professionals
I joined the BS in Human Resource Management program at UTD because I wanted to make a difference in organizations, people’s lives and my career. Events like DallasHR’s HRStars Gala allow HR professionals to get together and celebrate their accomplishments and the impact they have had within the industry.
