ILR Orientation and CAHRS Executive Roundtables
August 25, 2009 - Ithaca Campus
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. Since 1997, CAHRS has offered our partners an opportunity to be involved in the annual orientation held for incoming and returning graduate students and undergraduate junior and seniors in the School of Industrial and Labor Relations. Space limitations require that we limit the number of CAHRS executives participating in this event to 15. This was originally aimed at bringing Senior VP's of HR in front of students, but over the years this has become more and more diluted with lower and lower level people coming. Consequently, in an effort to keep the event to its original goal, from now until July 15th, we will only confirm seats to the first 15 SVP's that desire to attend. Others may register to attend, but we cannot confirm a seat until we have given the SVP's the opportunity to register. This is definitely to your advantage because this makes you most visible to the students.
