Calendar of Events

When it comes to giving back, April gives us the opportunity to do just that, as we collaborate again with Kirkwood and their Project Management classes. The event will include their Business, Administrative Management, and the Construction Management Department. The event is hosted through Kirkwood's Sandy O’Brien, PMP^®, CSM^®, Professor and Coordinator in Business Administration.

This activity allows our Eastern Iowa Chapter (EIC) to support Kirkwood as they strengthen their Project Management Curriculum. Our members have a unique opportunity to share their knowledge and expertise with the students and probably learn from them as well. On the same token, the students get the added benefit of networking while connecting with current Project Management Practitioners!

The plan for the meeting is based on what has worked well in the past. But this time we will meet virtually via Zoom. There will be a mixture of students and Project Management Practitioners. There is a set of pre-written questions on the topic of Project Management with a lead person who keeps the discussion going.

It is a lively and interactive activity that allows students and Project Management Practitioners to connect on a common topic for a period of 10 minutes before moving on to the next question.

Come prepared to both listen and share, as this meeting promises to be both unique and fun. It is a great opportunity to provide outreach to students who will soon be joining us as business professionals when they graduate.
