"I believe that attending the Future of HR Talent competition allowed me to connect with students from some of the top institutions in the world of HR. The biggest takeaway was seeing what direction HR is going in and understanding that the young people in the room will be championing that change in the future. The real world is fast-changing and unpredictable, especially in HR, and being able to experience that firsthand not only compliments the theoretical aspect of this degree, it also allows us to apply what we have learned so far-" Juliana Donoso Abuawad, MSHRM '23.
