HR Professionals Day is September 26, 2020; it recognizes and celebrates HR professionals around the world for their contributions to organizational success.
Many will be sharing stories about their careers in HR and what they enjoy most.
We also wanted to hear from SHRM's student members, so we asked, "Why are you pursuing a career in HR?"

This past week I had a very cool experience !! I was one of the judges for the SHRM Student Case Study competition. I sat with two other great HR pros from the area as we heard graduate students from various schools give their take on an HR scenario. It was very cool to hear their approaches which ranged from a traditional HR viewpoint to some that were extremely creative.
