HREC contributes to the life of our department by organizing professional development events, research efforts, and networking activities.
The Human Resource Education Council (HREC) is a registered student organization in the Department of Human Resource Education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

HREC provides networking, academic, and professional development opportunities. In order to facilitate our mission, we provide information through resources, networking, and events. We welcome a diverse group of students--HRE or non-HRE, on-campus or online.
