Indiana Institute of Technology’s Student Chapter Receives Superior Merit Award from SHRM
Fort Wayne, Indiana, July, 30, 2020 — Today, SHRM (the Society for Human Resource Management) awarded a 2019-2020 Superior Merit designation to the Indiana Institute of Technology SHRM student chapter for providing superior growth and development opportunities to its student members.
The SHRM student chapter merit award program encourages the development of more effective student chapters and distinguishes outstanding activities and projects. Chapters are recognized based on chapter operations, chapter programming and professional development of members, support of the human resource profession, and SHRM engagement.
“Today’s members of our student chapters are the HR leaders of tomorrow. They are the movers and shakers of the future, and we cannot understate the vital role they play in SHRM’s success,” said Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP, SHRM president and CEO. “The Indiana Tech Student Chapter is evidence that the future of HR is, indeed, in good hands. I applaud their accomplishments and ability to fiercely move forward during a time of such change and uncertainty in the workplace.”
SHRM student chapters have the opportunity to earn an award based on the number of activities they complete during the merit award cycle, the most recent one of which lasted from April 1, 2019, to March 31, 2020.

SHRM Statement Condemning Death of George Floyd by CEO
On this National Day of Mourning, SHRM joins the world in grieving the tragic and senseless murder of George Floyd.
We stand in solidarity against injustice, racism, discrimination, and violence of any kind, including those against law enforcement.
At SHRM, we believe the HR community is in a unique position, better than any other profession on the planet, to make real change for employees. Talent Acquisition specialists must ensure we are intentional about recruiting from diverse pools of talent. Employee Relations/Generalist experts must do their part to ensure every employee has a positive work experience and feels included. Those in Compensation and Benefits can work to remunerate employees equitably, addressing gender and racial disparities. And Inclusion & Diversity professionals should play a critical role in ensuring organizational accountability by equipping People Managers with resources and tools to effectively manage an increasingly diverse workforce.
We hold ourselves accountable to real action on behalf of our employees, our members, the HR profession, and workplaces around the world to root out bias in favor of fairness for all.
