Fellows in the Classroom

The NAHR Foundation is proud to sponsor the following initiative:

Since 2020, Fellows in the Classroom has brought NAHR Fellows into undergraduate and graduate classrooms, both in-person and virtually, to share the latest developments in Human Resources. By presenting real-world case studies, they enrich MBA and HR curricula, bridging theory with practical, hands-on insights.

Program Results

NAHR Fellows in the Classroom is a structured framework that connects current and former CHROs, who are current NAHR Fellows, with higher education classrooms. This initiative matches Fellows with higher education institutions interested in hosting Guest Speakers, Adjunct Faculty, or Executives in Residence, either in-person or through virtual sessions. NAHR Fellows customize their time in the classroom to the professors’ needs so their insight aligns with the current curricula.

Objectives of this Initiative

  • Expand our impact by exposing students in HR-related programs (Masters or Undergraduate) to current trends, practices, and real-world insights from seasoned professionals.

  • Increase awareness of the HR field among graduate and undergraduate students to attract top talent into the profession.

  • Introduce undergraduate business students and General Management MBA students to HR, highlighting its strategic value within organizations.

  • Promote diversity of thought by giving students practical examples of human resources application from diverse industries and organization size and sophistication.

  • Support the recruitment and hiring of graduating students and interns from key academic institutions.
