Welcome to the HRHP Summer 2020 Newsletter!


Many thanks to everyone who joined up for a wonderful end of the year sendoff to our recent HRHP graduates - and yet another congratulations!



Normally, the concentration does not send newsletters during the summer semester, however, given the current state of affairs we have decided to send updates periodically to let you all know about some of the events and other programming we have in the works! We'll be offering a series of Professional Development Job Search webinars (partnered with OCS), as well as content talks, social webinars to connect with other students, and launching more digitally-oriented resources for HRHPers.

Stay tuned, and of course, if you have any questions please do not hesistate to reach out to any of us!
