"I initially got involved with HRMA through MUSA Reps' CEI (Club Exploration Initiative) program! Honestly, I wasn't entirely sure what Human Resources did for the company at first, and I wasn't particularly drawn to the HR field. However, it was the awesome people in HRMA and the sense of community that convinced me to join. Now, I'm passionate about HR and eager to pursue it in my future career! This transformation happened because of the genuine appeal of HRMA and the amazing professional programs they offer. The support and warmth from everyone are incredible, and HRMA feels like home to me now. I'm thrilled to be on this journey with such amazing people and excited to see HRMA continue to thrive in the upcoming term! :)"

HRMA is a club that supports both professional growth as well as social growth, so I really felt like it was easy to make friends as a member while simultaneously developing my soft skills.

"After connecting with numerous board and general members during the fall quarter, I developed a keen interest in HRMA. As part of my Club Exploration Initiative while serving as a Representative at MUSA, I shadowed HRMA to delve deeper into its operations. Despite human resources not being my primary industry focus, I found myself drawn to the vibrant community that HRMA has nurtured over the years. Now actively involved with HRMA, I am truly impressed by the dedication of its board members to foster an inclusive and interpersonal environment. It's evident that they invest considerable effort to ensure the club remains a welcoming and supportive space for all. My goal during my time at HRMA is to contribute to its ongoing legacy as a club where individuals initially come for their friends but stay for the profound sense of community and belonging."
