Community of Practice Conference
Networking among the program's students is a key component of our project management program. The Community of Practice Conference is an annual 2-day residential event designed to help students create a professional network in their field. The conference occurs at the start of each fall semester. Each new student is encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities offered at the 2-day residential events. At a minimum, all students are required to attend the first 2-day residential event at the beginning of the program and strongly encouraged to attend another at the end. These events will provide you with additional opportunities to network with colleagues and to interact with the program's faculty. Rolls Royce-sponsored students are required to attend all residential events.
During these in-class instructional experiences, the program director and program professors will meet with the students to explain the structure of the courses, the teaching and learning process, and assessment procedures. There will also be presentations by faculty members on the latest research, as well as presentations by program graduates and corporate practitioners.
The 2009 Community of Practice Conference is scheduled for Tuesday, August 18, 2009, through Wednesday, August 19, 2009, in Erie, Pennsylvania. For more details about the conference or to register, please visit our conference site.
