Super Clubs Day Super Clubs Day is a day when all Shidler Inter-Business Council clubs come together and participate in a friendly all-day competition with each other in a number of events and games. This semester, Super Clubs Day was held on Sunday, November 9. There were a number of new events and the crowd-favorites for students to participate in this semester, including capture the flag, volleyball, cheer and dance, relay,

dodge ball, brain bowl, and mini competitions throughout the day. Each club had its own captain for each of the events. More often than not, these captains were executive board members. To lead SHRMs members, Alec Catalan, Kent Shinomae, Scott Nguyen, Sheina Baybayan, and Jessica Higashi stepped up to the plate.

SHRMies played hard and showed their club spirit like never before, and received first place in brain bowl and cheer and dance and fourth place in volleyball, resulting in fourth place overall. Our members had a ton of fun competing, but the greatest reward was all of the new friends and memories they made at the event.

INTERACTION PROFESSIONAL

Professional Interaction Night (PIN) is

an opportunity for the SHRM Aloha

Chapter members to showcase the

professional skills theyve cultivated

throughout the semester and network

with local business professionals in their

field of interest. This semester, PIN was

held on December 4th at the Japanese

Cultural Center Mnoa Grand Ballroom.

Members were able to effortlessly

network and gain invaluable knowledge

and insights from the many successful

business men and women who attended.

The SHRM Aloha Student Chapter would

like to extend its deepest thanks to SHRM

Hawaii, Xerox Hawaii, Starwood Hotels

and Resorts, and all businesses and

professionals who generously donated to

our club and sponsored this event. It is

only through philanthropic people and

organizations such as yourselves that the

Aloha Chapter is able to provide its

members with unique and invaluable

opportunities to grow their

professionalism.

Interaction Night at the Plaza Club,

NIGHT

ALOHA BANQUET fire & ice

Our final event for the Fall 2014 semester was the SHRM Aloha Banquet. It was a semi-formal event that allowed the club to recognize our active members and celebrate the new friends and memories the students have made with each other. Along with the amazing food catered by Regal Bakery, our very own Director of Finance, Kent Shinomae, treated SHRMies with a special dance and magic show. He wowed the crowd in every way and everyone was impressed! The HOSS elections winners, determined by their fellow SHRMies were also announced at the Aloha Banquet. Among these awards were "Mr. Cutie," Social Butterfly, and "Most Likely to Succeed". Our very own President, Sheina Baybayan, gave a heartfelt speech, recognizing each member of the executive board and handed out an award for all of the SHRMies that made active status. The Aloha Chapters graduating seniors were also given an opportunity to make a speech to their colleagues. This was such a memorable semester, and we look forward to seeing you all again next semester!

SENIORS!

EXECUTIVE BOARD

THANKS FOR A GREAT SEMESTER!

COMMUNITY SERVICES

In November, SHRMies worked together to help set up for Tour de Cure. Members were in charge of checking tents and coolers to ensure they work properly, set up banners and signs, and write inspirational messages to finishers on the asphalt. It was wonderful to see members working together to help the community.

For the final community service of the semester, members assisted the Honolulu Lions Club in setting up the Mayors Craft Fair. Members had the task of moving heavy boxes and items so the elderly vendors could focus on organizing and putting out their items. The vendors were very friendly and gave the SHRMies many tips on creating and selling their art. The Aloha Chapter is looking forward to more opportunities to assist the Lions Club in their endeavors.

WORKSHOPS Public Speaking & Networking

School-to-Workforce

Public speakingthe two words we all cringe to hear. SHRMies were given the opportunity to learn from Alan Tin, Human Resources Development Director at Myanmar Marketing Research Development and an award winning business instructor from Heald College, who gave the members invaluable tips to be a better public speaker. Mr. Tins sense of humor made members feel comfortable talking about this area that not many of us are confident in. We thank Professor Alan Tin for taking time out of his busy schedule to come help the SHRMies out! A big shout out to our Director of Professional Development, Arik Ma, for connecting with Mr. Tin and

setting up this great workshop for us!

The transition from school to the workforce can be tough for many seniors. That's why we decided to have a workshop that provides our seniors a guide on how to pave the path to success after graduation. The instructor for the night was Stevette Santiago of Hawaii USA FCU. She shared her stories with the members and provided them with resources detailing characteristics employers look for in new talent. This workshop was not only helpful for our graduating seniors, but it contained information applicable to all aspects of our every day lives. Thank you Stevette for all of your help! It was a great workshop that everyone enjoyed.

COMPANY TOURS

Company tours allows SHRMies to see the culture of company and whether that industry is the right fit for them. They allow our members to learn from and exchange contact information and network with local business professionals. Members gain invaluable insights, and professionals are able to utilize members fresh new ideas and perspectives. Our last two tours were hosted by

Xerox Hawaii and Starwood Hotels and

Resorts. Each company had its own unique culture and members were fascinated to see how different each companys atmosphere and people are. We are so grateful for the opportunities both of these amazing companies have provided for our members to gain insights and knowledge to prepare for the business community.

SHRM WELLNESS TIPS Healthy Studying

College Advice Blog

1. Don't Skip Meals Although you may have a busy schedule, you should always take breaks for regular, healthy meals. Not only will these meals give you energy and nutrition but they can provide much-needed breaks that will allow you to refresh your body and mind before jumping back into the books.

2. Drink Water

Caffeine is a diuretic, which means youll be taking more bathroom breaks than normal. Downing high amounts of these drinks can also lead to lack of sleep, which makes it even harder to study later on. Water is the best solution. It replenishes and hydrates with no side effects.

3. Get Sleep

When you are rested, your mind is better able to process and retain information. In addition, sleeping gives your mind a chance to process all the information its been taking in and save it for long-term retention. A solid evening of studying, followed by a good nights sleep, will put

you in better shape for a morning test than will an all-nighter.

4. Avoid Alcohol Drinking alcohol while studying can be extremely detrimental to information retention. It can also make you groggy and sleepy.

5. Eat Healthy Snacks

Eat brain food like sliced carrots, fresh fruits, or mixed nuts. Eating healthy snacks can keep you focused on getting an A rather than gaining the freshman fifteen.

6. Pace Yourself and Take Breaks One of the most important pieces of advice you can take is to pace your studying throughout the day or week. Dont pull all-nighters that will leave you tired and unfocused at test time. And, when you study, get up once every hour or so to stretch your legs, go to the bathroom, take a quick jog, or eat. These little breaks give your mind and body a chance

to refresh and energize for the next session.
