The Mitch Daniels School of Business and the Purdue student chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) will bring undergraduate and graduate student teams to West Lafayette this fall, giving you the opportunity for access to the best and brightest HR talent.

Festivities begin on November 6 with the “national championship” of HR case competitions.

This year’s competition, the 15th annual, promises to be even bigger. Your sponsorship of the case competition or awards dinner provides direct access to students from top HR programs, as well as a resume booklet that includes all participating students.

The following day, in partnership with Purdue’s Center for Working Well and HR Indiana SHRM, the Daniels School will host an HR conference. It offers leadership learning opportunities and is targeted at both students — including those participating in the case competition — and HR professionals. CEUs are offered for the conference.

This conference highlights emerging research on HR support for women’s health, supervisor behaviors that promote work-life balance, and the impact of service robots and AI on employee well-being.

Sponsorships are available for both the case competition and the conference. You can:

  • achieve expanded brand visibility across multiple university and professional networks
  • enhance your organization’s prestige though involvement with a national platform
  • broaden your talent pipeline through direct engagement with top HR students

We’ll see you at Purdue in November!
