Spring 2024 LEADERSHIP BOARD
Faculty Advisor
Michelle Dean, Ph.D.
|
My name is Dr. Michelle Dean, and I serve as Faculty Advisor to the SHRM chapter at SDSU. I joined the student SHRM chapter at LSU as an undergraduate and it was pivotal for me in piquing my interest in HR and helping me to see the many paths a career in HR can take. I am happy to help students have that same “ah ha” moment that happened for me when I joined SHRM as a student. I am proud to advise a nationally recognized SHRM chapter which has received the top merit designation given to SHRM chapters, the Outstanding Chapter Award, in 2014, 2015, and 2017 and the SHRM Superior Merit Award in 2016. Our chapter has been recognized by SDSU receiving the Outstanding Organization Award from Associated Students, SDSU Dean of Students, and the Fowler College of Business, respectively, in recognition of our chapter’s commitment to excellence in student professional development.
We are open to all majors, and I hope you’ll check out our website, come to weekly meetings and events, and talk to our officers and members about SHRM. Hope to see you at an upcoming meeting! |

Minor: Industrial/ Organizational Psychology Year: Senior Hometown: El Dorado Hills, CA Hi everyone! My name is Brandon Bartosh and I am beyond excited to lead this chapter alongside an amazing team this semester. SHRM has forever changed my path here at SDSU. This chapter has launched me into the beginning stages of my career as I continue to gain invaluable experience through our speaker events, programs, and the plethora of networking opportunities. Previously I held roles of SD SHRM Liaison along with Corporate Relations Director, both roles in which I enhanced skills that will forever stick with me. I am currently engaged in SDSU's A.S. here, sitting on the Board of Directors, and I am a part of our Soundwave Acapella group here on campus. I take pride in immersing myself in any community I am in, working to uplift others in order to curate a positive, yet diligent environment. I cannot wait to see all the returning faces, and if you’re new, welcome to the SHRM family, you’ll meet countless friends, establish crucial connections, and help jumpstart your career! SHRMIE Forever! |

I joined SHRM on a whim after hearing a professor speak highly of the organization. I can confidently say that joining SHRM has been the best decision I have made in college, both professionally and socially. Prior to SHRM, I was a very introverted individual but I have since found a new sense of confidence in myself and what I can offer to the HR field. In a short period of time, I have developed professional connections with HR professionals and my fellow SHRMies.

I hope to help our members have the same experience and get the most out of their time with SHRM! |
