Breakfast Series

MTSU SHRM’s Breakfast Series is an event for professionals and students to enhance their HR knowledge and network with others who share similar interests. Each event spotlights a different HR professional who educates the audience on an area of expertise. Presentation topics are carefully selected based on value and interest. Previous topics vary and have included disability and leave issues as well as organizational development initiatives. HR professionals may receive up to 1.5 hours of HRCI credit for attending pre-approved sessions. A light breakfast and coffee will be provided before and after the event.

Join us for a great experience to gain both knowledge and networking skills!
