La’Rissa shared, “As I enter my final year at Rowan University, where I will graduate this spring with a Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management, I reflect on my journey. I transferred to Rowan from Rowan College of South Jersey in Spring 2022, and my college experience has exceeded all my expectations. The Emerson Group Scholarship is a tremendous blessing—one I truly appreciate. My education at Rowan has been instrumental in preparing me for this corporate experience. As a first-generation college graduate, my family is proud to witness my growth, and they were equally excited about my scholarship.”
La’Rissa is currently serving as President of the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) Club at Rowan. Together with her fellow officers, she has made significant strides in increasing membership and fostering meaningful engagement within the club. Additionally, she has joined the Tri-State HRMA Student Relations Committee, where she is committed to providing more resources for aspiring HR professionals.
La’Rissa concludes, “In the future, I intend to pursue my Master’s in HR Management, likely at either Rutgers or Rowan. Thank you once again for your generous support. It is appreciated more than you know, and I wish everyone at Emerson Group all the best.”
