"I joined HRMA to learn more about Human Resources, but it’s safe to say that I got so much more than I had initially expected. From our guest speaker events to socials to different programs, I learned so much and can proudly say that I’ve made so many core memories. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive, and this club truly feels like my home away from home. HRMA has been so helpful in both my personal and career journeys, and I can’t wait to continue giving back to the community! Super excited for this upcoming term! :D"
