For those looking for a new holiday sweater this season, the FHSU Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) is selling “Ugly Sweaters” now through Sunday.
“I have always loved the ‘ugly Christmas sweater’ designs that pop up around this time of year,” SHRM Fundraising Committee member Jessalyn Kirchhoff said. “I also have always loved FHSU and wearing gear/merch that represents my pride for our school. Pair those two loves together and boom, ugly sweater fundraiser.”
The sweaters come in two crew-neck options – black or gold and can be purchased through Redeem. Each crewneck is $25 and orders close at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday.
SHRM is the world’s largest association devoted to human resource management, and the funds raised will allow FHSU SHRM members to travel to Australia during spring break.
“The trip’s purpose is to provide meaningful international experiences for students pursuing careers in business,” SHRM Advisor LeAnn Brown said. “Students will learn about Australian management styles and employment laws and gain insight into a culture different from their own.”
For student organizations, fundraisers are crucial for trips like these.
“Fundraising provides support for students to attend events, workshops, and activities that their current financial situation may not allow them to participate in,” Kirchhoff said. “In our case, an educational experience to Australia.”
Kirchhoff said fundraising events help develop teamwork, communication and financial management skills.
“These experiences not only enrich the campus community, but also prepare students for future career challenges while creating a sense of pride and ownership within their specific club,” Kirchhoff said.
