Emily Sterrett Memorial Scholarship

To honor Emily Sterrett, SVSHRM offers two scholarships in her memory; one for admission for the SHRM Essentials course and one for admission for the SHRM Learning System course. Both courses are offered by the JMU Office of Outreach and Engagement. Emily Sterrett was an active member in our chapter and served as co-chair of the SVSHRM Certification Committee for over ten years. Emily was responsible for and directed the Essentials of Human Resources class and the PHR/SPHR study course through SHRM. Emily passed away in October 2013 after a long battle with cancer.
