Master of Human Resources and Labor Relations Candidate | Graduate Assistant of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) with Residence Education and Housing Services
I had the pleasure of participating in the Penn State HR Case Competition, hosted by Penn State School of Labor and Employment Relations. I arrived with fellow students from the Michigan State University School of Human Resources and Labor Relations - Shweta Adsul, Jessica Robach, and Jake Roberts - but we encountered an unexpected challenge upon arrival: reassignment to new teams. This change, while not planned, introduced me to brilliant students from different universities across the country. The opportunity to collaborate with fellow students—Abigail Gerak, Nell Nadie, and Rebecca Le—which was a wonderful experience. Working with them helped me broaden my skill set and gain diverse perspectives in analyzing complex cases. Presenting our business solution to the esteemed panel of judges—Valerie Bennardo, Kevin Cox, Cary Friedman, and Ketan Patel—was a unique experience, and I greatly valued the insights they provided to the team. This competition not only expanded my knowledge but also reinforced the importance of collaboration in the field of Human Resources.
