STUDENT COMPETITION SUCCESS |
|
Anderson Students Take Second in SHRM Student Case Competition |
|
A team of Anderson students placed second in the Utah Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM) Case Competition held March 27. Mike (Richard) Barela, Adam Crespin, Veronica Duarte, Aaron Ochoa, Wyatt Robledo and team leader Edith Linares Santillan attained runner-up honors in the graduate category.
This case competition was the first virtual event of its kind and was also Anderson’s first participation in an HR student case competition among a pool of 60 participants and 14 teams. The competition previewed realistic job scenarios in which teams leveraged their HR knowledge and applied it to a realistic situation likely to be encountered in the work world. Competing allowed teams to practice integrated HR thinking, ethical decision-making, and strong communication and presentation skills.

Let your voice be heard!
The Division for Equity and Inclusion (DEI) invites all Lobos to learn about the Racial and Intersectional Microaggressions (RIMA) Survey.
The goal of the survey is to explore the experiences of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color, to include Asian/AAPI, Latinx, and/or multiracial groups), Persons with Disabilities, and LGBTQI undergraduate and graduate students at UNM and design appropriate interventions to enhance UNM's inclusive climate.
Those selected for the stratified sample received a link to the online survey on March 8. The first 500 at Main/Branch campuses and 500 at HSC who complete the survey will be offered a $10 gift card. The more folks who complete it, the better work we can do to design interventions to improve campus climate.
