ILR Orientation and CAHRS Executive Roundtables
August 26 2008
Location: Ithaca Campus
One unique and valuable aspect of the CAHRS partnership is the opportunity for CAHRS executives to interact with future human resource professionals beginning their graduate studies at Cornell, and to shape their educational and career choices. The past ILR Graduate Orientations coordinated by CAHRS has offered our partner company representatives and ILR graduate and select senior students an opportunity to come together to exchange questions and ideas about the field of human resources, the most important issues facing individual companies, the skills needed by future human resource professionals, and what companies look for in recruiting entry-level professionals.
Due to space limitations and the popularity of this event among our partner representatives, we will be limiting the number of executives involved in this event to 15. We will begin collecting table reservations in late May, so be sure to let us know if you are interested in getting involved in this event.
