The Purpose of this organization is to enhance student development as well as developing the CSUB Agriculture Business program. The organization also attempts to raise awareness regarding food insecurity in the Bakersfield area.
The Agricultural Business Club was founded in 2017, driven with the same intent, as the AG program at California State University of Bakersfield, to create lifelong opportunities for students to follow their passion in a community where Agricultural is dominant. The Ag Business Club is the outlet where students will be able to network and gain experiences with businesses from not only the agriculture industry, but across all sectors. Students will be able to make lifelong valuable connections with club members and Ag leaders in the community. Members will have opportunities to gain invaluable experiences, through internships and company tours, as well as be given the opportunity to gain insider knowledge from industry leaders.

SHRM Case Competition
2018:
The CSUB Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) Student Chapter secured 1st place
in a Case Competition at the Student Summit and Case Competition at San Jose State
University on November 3, 2018.
Congratulations to CSUB’s SHRM team members Branden Dunn (Team Captain), Nikki Aringer, Pamela Rivera, Samantha Gruggett, and Larissa Oleson.
“The Case Competition in San Jose was a great opportunity to gain experience that is hard to duplicate in the classroom. It made me feel more confident in my abilities to problem solve and to lead a team. The competition also was a great bonding experience for my team. We worked together and helped each other to improve on our weaknesses and capitalize on our strengths,” said Branden Dunn.
“I’m grateful for our professors and schools to put an event like this together, it allowed me to gain valuable connections in my career while getting critical experience that is hard for students to attain. Case competitions like the one in San Jose are irreplaceable to the development of students and I highly recommend for anyone to get involved in these learning opportunities,” said Larissa Oleson.
2016:
SHRM members Lisa Salinas (team captain), Alma Ramirez, Celina Franco, Samantha Carr,
and Kaitlyn Johns placed 12th out of 30 at the National SHRM Case Competition in Salt
Lake City, Utah on April 29th and 30th. The competition requires integrated HR thinking,
ethical decision-making, and strong communication and presentation skills. Teams applied
their knowledge acquired through their studies and applied it to a realistic HR situation
likely to be encountered in the work world.
About the SHRM Case Competition
The SHRM Case Competition consists of a one-day event where teams of up to six undergraduate
or graduate students from various colleges and universities compete in both oral and
written presentations. The case is created specifically for the SHRM Case Competition
and can focus on any number of HR issues (i.e., Management Practices; Selection &
Recruitment; Training & Development; Compensation & Benefits; Employee/Labor Relations;
and Health, Safety & Security or a combination). The teams have four hours to read,
evaluate, and draft both the oral and written presentations. After the four-hour preparation
period, the teams provide their written presentation to one set of judges for review
and present their oral presentation to another set of judges. The judges receive the
scoring criteria which they use to evaluate both the written and oral presentations.
The teams have 15 minutes to present their oral presentation. Due to the large size
of the competitions, there may be two separate judging rooms – in this situation,
the highest-ranking team from each room will move on to present their oral presentation
to a combined set of three judges in front of an audience. The highest-ranking team
from this evaluation will be the winner.
There are many benefits to the SHRM Case Competition. The SHRM Case Competition is an event that offers the opportunity to bring professional HR professionals, students, and student chapter advisors together in a meaningful way. The effort it takes to plan and conduct the SHRM Case Competition is worthwhile and beneficial to the professional members as well as the students. The professionals judging the cases get a fresh look at the knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm of the HR students that are getting ready to graduate. The students receive an opportunity to network with other students and showcase their knowledge to HR practitioners.
The Kern County Chapter Society for Human Resource Management (KCSHRM) is an organization of human resource professionals whose primary goal is to foster an educational environment that is facilitated by the exchange of information and ideas.Our mission is to educate, support, and advance the role of the human resource profession in Kern County. We accomplish our mission by providing essential knowledge and education; facilitating opportunities for personal interaction; and serving as liaison and advocate to other local, regional, state, and national entities.
To accomplish this mission KCSHRM is committed to offering monthly meetings, periodic conferences, and other programs and activities. These events will be educational and informative, focusing on topics of current and general interest for the membership, including legislative issues. A major goal of such events will be providing the opportunity for networking and sharing within the human resources professional community.

Culture:
We encourage students of all majors to join the BEA as the perspectives of differing individuals is what adds even greater value to the organization. Likeminded people can only get so much done until they reach the ceiling, it is the vastly different people in our network that makes us stronger.
It is the duty of the student to voice their opinion, regardless of the general consensus of other members of the organization to provide a diversified perspective on all topics.
Students are encouraged to promote the BEA and its members as a close-knit group of students that stir the strengths of each individual to their advantage.
Student Involvement Events:
The events that we offer our members to build their network include:
-
Introduction Métier Experiences - introduction to various job occupations with business professionals to introduce members to new opportunities and people that they otherwise would never know. These are followed by either mock or real interviews by the employers where members receive feedback and tips on interview skills.
-
Business Skill Development – presenting solution-based presentations to employers on either real or fictitious problems to develop and display confidence and communicational skills that translate to the workplace.
-
Guest Speakers - employers speaking of their own experiences and profession in the world of business and what they are looking for in newly graduated students.
Membership:
There are no requirements to join the BEA. Students do not have to be business majors to join. Other majors are not only accepted but are encouraged. As said under our culture, a diversified perspective is greater than a likeminded one. The more that members participate in club events and experience opportunities, the more they add to their network of connections!
