Information for New Student SHRM Members

Who said there was no such thing as a free lunch?

We believe that joining Student SHRM supplements our education at UWF.  Our student chapter is affiliated with the Greater Pensacola Society for Human Resource Management (GPSHRM). This affiliation provides us with the opportunity to meet and discuss issues with a group of about 200 enthusiastic local HR professionals. GPSHRM has lunch meetings at the New World Landing restaurant in downtown Pensacola on the second Wednesday of every month.  Student members who sign up in advance are invited to attend the monthly luncheon meetings as a guest of a local HR professional. This is an excellent networking opportunity and a chance to hear talks from HR professionals.

RSVP for SHRM luncheons at the GPSHRM website, www.gpshrm.org, or click here. A list of speakers for the monthly meeting are available on the GPSHRM website as well.
