Student Organisation

Students are encouraged to get involved with student organizations such as the MHR Academic Society (MHRAS). It is a student-run organisation that aims to create an environment that stimulates interest in human resource management, build professional skills and connect students with an interest in interacting with people. The goal of the MHRAS is to provide learning and hands-on opportunities for students across campus to hone their leadership and management skills. The MHRAS strives to achieve this by hosting events for the MHR students to interact with one another and with students of other academic programmes and student clubs. It works towards professional development and promoting co-curricular learning through organizing team building activities, networking sessions, and service learning opportunities. It seeks to further develop student's leadership, problem-solving, communication, and presentation skills.

Since its inception in Fall 2009, our MHRAS has strived to foster a sense of belonging among MHR students and led many successful team building projects and social activities. As a member of our MHRSC on campus, individuals will have multiple opportunities, including: discussion and sharing meetings led by our alumni who have gone on to graduate programmes and/or worked at premier corporations and consulting firms, participation in service learning projects, and discounts on MHR souvenirs and their in-house HR magazines. MHRAS initiates resume-building projects, offers chances for students to get real-world HR and leadership experience that develops their personal competencies. It welcomes all MHR majors and those interested in service learning to join! In addition, it provides students with the opportunity to build lasting connections with other student members and to network with other student groups in UIC, giving them and the participants an advantage when applying for jobs and internships.
