Extra Credit Event

On Thursday March 3, I attended the Project Management Networking Mixer in Buhl Hall at Chatham University.  This event had professionals from Westinghouse, BNY Mellon, Management Science Associates and more.  It was interesting to go to the mixer because it was just a way to get your name out there and talk to professionals actually in the job.  These professionals were full of information and resources that would help in the real world. The theme of the mixer was project management so when we were talking to people, they explain the process of being a project manager.  Project managers have to plan, organize, and process project objectives.  They have to have leadership skills and knowledge about the company.  The job of a project manager is not easy because they are the ones in charge of organizing the whole project.  If something gets messed up, the project manager has to be ready to handle it and come up with a different solution.  I enjoyed getting to interact with the project managers and hearing about how they have faced challenges and overcame obstacles.  It was a really nice event.
