The Rice University Human Capital Club, a student-run organization at the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business, is proud to enter its 5th year this fall. With growing interest in Human Resource Management, the Human Capital Club has seen increasing numbers from the Rice MBA student population, and we are now a recognized chapter by the Society for Human Resources Management. 

Our primary goal is to serve Rice MBA students by:   

 

1. Motivating students on the breadth of career opportunities within strategic human resources.
2. Educating students on hot topics impacting the field of human resources and helping them to develop vital people management skills that will be critical in their future professional careers.
3. Enhancing programming and career planning resources currently available to students.

Accordingly, the Human Capital Club has several informative events planned for the academic year including:  

• ‘A Day in the Life of a Human Capital Consultant’ – half day event partnering with the Consulting Club
• Lunch and Learn Series – informal sessions on relevant human resources topics led by corporate leaders
• Business Skills Development Workshop–partnering with CMC to address various leadership and business management topics

Human Capital Club Officers 2011 – 2012: 

 

Cindi Burton - President
Rachel McGaughey - Vice President of Finance 

Rahila Odwani - Vice President of Programming

Vicki Dooly - Vice President of PMBA Relations

*We are excited to offer a leadership opportunity to a 1st year MBA student this year!  Applications will be available immediately after Club Day
