SHRM stands for the Society for Human Resource Management. SHRM is the world’s largest professional organization dedicated to human resource management. SHRM’s more than 225,000 individual members worldwide represent some of the best and brightest in the human resource profession. SHRM was founded in 1948 and has over 575 affiliated chapters in the U.S. and members in over 100 countries.

Whether you are studying HR or looking for your first job, SHRM membership provides access to career planning resources and opportunities to network with HR managers and other decision-makers in the Northeast Arkansas region. Many of our student members have received paid internships from the contacts they made at SHRM meetings. Additionally, when you join the national chapter of SHRM, you will receive:

  • subscription to HR Magazine
  • subscription to HR NEWS
  • Echoes student newsletter
  • Special $80 membership rate for the first year of professional membership after graduation
  • Access to HR-related bibliographies and research to supplement your classroom participation

ASU SHRM is not just for HR majors. Any student enrolled in classes at Arkansas State University may become a member of this chapter. In fact, we welcome non-HR majors especially those who are near graduation and can benefit from hearing firsthand what employers are looking for in job candidates and helping prepare candidates to meet those requirements.

The ASU SHRM chapter meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 12: 00 noon in the College of Business, Room 416. The Northeast Arkansas SHRM chapter meets on the second Tuesday of each month. Student members are required to attend at least two professional meetings each academic year and are encouraged to attend all of the professional meetings if their schedules permit.

All members of ASU SHRM must be a paid member of the professional chapter of SHRM. The cost to join the professional chapter is $35 a year, a significant cost savings from the professional dues of $160 a year. Go to www.shrm.org or pick up an application at Room 410 in the College of Business building to join the professional SHRM chapter. Our chapter number is 5155. ASU SHRM membership dues are 5$ a year.
