The SHRM Ohio State Council College Relations Committee chairman oversees the yearly Ohio SHRM Student Conference. All participating national Student Chapters are encouraged to sponsor a state student conference for student members, faculty, and professionals in their respective states. In April 1995, Wright State University sponsored a very successful conference for the state of Ohio which was attended by over 100 members from thirteen Student Chapters. Student members are also encouraged to attend the SHRM professional state conferences each year.

Wright State University and Edison Community College Student Chapter members are encouraged to seek student membership in SHRM. The SHRM Student Services membership program was created in 1965 to "promote mutually beneficial interaction between HR students and practitioners". Among the many benefits offered to student members are subscriptions to HRMagazine and HRNews bulletin, invitations to attend the national SHRM Student Conference, student awards, grants and scholarships.
