Outstanding Student Chapter Award
The Outstanding Student Chapter Award recognizes specific programs and activities conducted by SHRM student chapters that distinguish them from other chapters.
The award will consist of an inscribed plaque, as well as a certificate for the chapter advisor and chapter president. Additionally, each chapter will receive a special “Outstanding Student Chapter” graphic to proudly display on their chapter’s web page. These chapters will be featured on the SHRM Student Programs website and in the SHRMStudent Focus supplement to HRMagazine®. There will not be a monetary award. Awards will be presented to student chapter advisors and chapter presidents of the winning student chapters at the Annual Student Conference held in conjunction with SHRM’s Annual Conference & Exposition.
In addition to qualifying for the Superior Merit Award, chapters applying for the Outstanding Student Chapter Award must meet specific criteria as outlined in the Merit Award Planning Workbook.
