Student Organization Spotlight: Society for Human Resource Management

Take a moment to get to know Juelane Desjardin, senior management major and president of the Society for Human Resource Management. SHRM serves the needs of the human resource management professional by providing the most essential and comprehensive set of resources available. In addition, SHRM is committed to advancing the human resource profession and the capabilities of all human resource professionals to ensure the HR is an essential and effective partner in developing and executing organizational strategy. SHRM has more than 575 chapters in over 130 countries and is the world’s largest association devoted to furthering the interest of the human resource profession.


Q: What does SHRM have planned so far for the spring semester?
-        We have participated in the Student Involvement Fair, the Business Leadership Fair, and Business Leadership week by having a guest speaker at our SHRM meeting

-        We have a HR Professional Conference that we are attending in March in Arizona

-        We are participating in the Student Case Competition at the Conference with an undergraduate team and a graduate team

-        We have professional HR speakers planned and scheduled for the rest of our SHRM meetings

Q: How will your major and SHRM help you reach your goals?
-        My goal is to build a career in the HR field. With my Business Administration in Management Degree and experience with SHRM, I will have the knowledge, skills and abilities to help me succeed with my goals and future.

-        SHRM has given me the ability to connect and network with HR professionals, abilities to win scholarships, and received an HR intern through SHRM

Q: What resource on campus do you recommend for students to utilize?
-        I recommend students to check out the 3rd level in the McCoy building where student organizations have postings about their organization, reach out to professors who have connections with other professionals, and become a part of an organization!

Q: What is your favorite part about Texas State?
-        I am extremely appreciative for the guidance that Texas State’s professors provide for the students and the abundant amount of organizations that Texas State supports. Whatever you are interested in, whatever your dream is, whatever career you want to accomplish, you can find the information here at Texas State and the support you need to accomplish your goals.

Q: What do you think is the ‘key to success’?
-        Success means something different to everyone; therefore the key isn’t identical for everyone. Each individual has to sit back and think about what they want. What really makes them happy? I believe that happiness is success, so the key is to find what makes you happy.
