More Than A Desk Job: How HR Shapes the Human Side of Business

Thursday, October 8th, Noon Arizona time

Ever wondered why some teams just click while others are a total mess? Why certain workplaces make people feel energized and others make them want to quit by lunch? Spoiler: it's not random. It's organizational psychology in action.

HR professionals are the people behind the curtain, using the science of human behavior to shape how organizations hire, lead, motivate, and retain their people. And if you're studying psychology, you're already thinking like one of them.

Join us for a conversation exploring what HR actually looks like day-to-day, how org psych shows up in real workplace decisions, and what kinds of careers are waiting for people who love understanding why humans do what they do. An HR professional will share her career journey, bust a few misconceptions, and talk about how to make yourself competitive before graduation, including how getting plugged into the right networks early can change everything.
