November 2008 Newsletter UNB
Human Resources Student Association Candace Morgan and Lynn Haley, two human resources instructors in the UNB Faculty of Business Administration, were swamped with requests last year from students wanting to be more ‘networked’ and informed about the HR opportunities available in the region upon graduation. The pair brainstormed ways in which they could play a larger role in connecting their students with the local business community. The result: A new Human Resources Student Association (HRSA) has been formalized at UNB this year. The inaugural meeting for the group was held at the beginning of October and the response was staggering: approximately forty five students signed up. At the first meeting the executive for the Association was elected and consists of three HR students in their final year of the BBA program: Lynn MacKinnon (President), Kendra Leary (Vice-President), and Scott Elvin (Treasurer). The President will be sitting on the HRANB Executive for the Fredericton Chapter as a Student Representative. This year, the HRSA will offer information sessions with guest speakers from the business community as well as study sessions for anyone interested in getting their CHRP designation. The HRSA executive will also plan other events of interest to its student members throughout the year. The HRSA Executive and Faculty Coordinators are very excited about this new association and recognize the support students need to move from the academic setting to the professional community. “Connecting students with those working in the industry is a win-win situation,” says Morgan. “It’s also important for students to see the practical side of HR, to complement the theoretical learning done in the classroom”. The
HRSA is also open to alumni and members of the community who are
working in or have experience in HR. If you are interested in being
a part of this group and sharing some of your knowledge with current
HR students, the HRSA would love to hear from you. Please contact
