Trinity University SHRM Chapter Concludes Semester with HR Leadership Events and Professional Development

Programming example

As my term as chapter president of the Trinity University Society for Human Resource Management comes to a close very soon, I want to take some time to highlight some chapter accomplishments and events from this semester. On April 10th, TUSHRM facilitated a Fireside Chat with Annette Alonzo, Chief Human Resources Officer and Group Executive Vice President at Frost. She was candid, transparent and I was so elated our SHRM chapter got the opportunity to hear from a wonderful HR leader. Special thanks to Mindy Miller Hill for her support in planning the event and Dr. Brandi P. Jones for offering her home for our chapter. In January, we had a lunch and learn featuring Shawna Kelley Shelor, Senior VP of HR at Freeman Company. We all had the opportunity to ask for career advice and learn from her journey working in global HR, a unique perspective that many of our students had not thought about before. We learned the importance of taking leaps but also the value of a strong network. On February 13th, I attended the SHRM San Antonio Symposium with my fellow SHRM members for the first time. It was an exciting day filled with insights into change management, employee engagement, and workplace culture. The sessions and speakers were both honest and forward-thinking, making it an enjoyable day spent meeting various people working in HR in San Antonio and beyond. #shrmsasymposiumI want to also extend thanks to our chapter advisor Barbara Guzman, SHRM-SCP and the Michael Neidorff School of Business for championing our professional development, and challenging us to think big. We have our final chapter event on May 7th, and I am excited to help our new executive team transition into their roles.
