Project management's next generation has come out in full force to help make PMI's Research Conference a success. Working with the PMI Poland Chapter and PMI Region 8 Component Mentor Zbigniew J. Tracezyk, PMP, student volunteers from the Warsaw School of Economics Student Association for Project Management have been assisting with everything from manning the information booth to directing conference-goers into different sessions.
After talking to a few of the students, I discovered many of them hope their volunteer work will help with their professional development. For instance, Iga Kuozynska is a member of the Student Association for Project Management, but one day she plans on becoming a PMI member. "I am so excited about project management," she told me. "I wanted to see how it really works and what it really means."
Then there was Aleksandra Dworakowska, a board member of the student association, who will be hosting a Project Management Day with her fellow board members next April. She says the event typically draws nearly 200 students.
