BOISE STATE STUDENTS WIN REGIONAL HUMAN RESOURCES COMPETITION

Boise State went undefeated and took first place in the Northwest Regional Human Resources Collegiate Competition at Microsoft Corporation in Redmond, Wash., April 5.

Team members Adam Scheerer, Telma Delic and Paul Cheney defeated 13 other teams in a Jeopardy-style competition that tested knowledge of human resource management. Competitors included the University of Washington, Portland State, Washington State-Vancouver, Central Washington, Western Washington, University of Alaska-Anchorage and Montana State.

Boise State will compete against five other regional winners for the national championship at the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) conference in Orlando, Fla., in June.

The Human Resource Collegiate Competition is in its fourth year. The competition encourages undergraduate students to prepare for professional human resource certification. Students who pass the certification exam may eventually receive the Professional in Human Resources (PHR) designation. Boise State had placed second and third in each of the preceding two years in the regionals.

This year's team coaches include Christine Simon, Human Resource Association of Treasure Valley (HRATV) student chapter liaison, and Gundars Kaupins, faculty adviser to the Human Resource Association (HRA) student chapter at Boise State.
