HRM-RI Student Scholarship Recipients Announced

- Krista Morisi, a senior at Providence College, who is majoring in Management.
- Carolyn Husovsky, a senior at Bryant University, who is majoring in Business Management.
Krista has completed two HR internships -- CIBER,Inc., where she is still working as their recruiting intern, and at A.T.Cross, where she created and presented new hire orientations and learned how to do a comparative analysis of salaries across different occupations.
Carolyn has completed two internships at EMC2. The first was more of a HR generalist role, where she shadowed HR professionals and learned HRIS systems. The second internship involved more program management, where she lead a team of HR professionals to create a career development site on company's intranet. Carolyn is also the Vice President of the SHRM chapter at Bryant University.
