PROJECT

A very exciting opportunity for our PJM Business Analysis co-hort has presented itself.   We 

have been asked to identify how to better engage our alumni once they have graduated 

from the PJM program.  This is alignment with both Northeastern’s 2025 strategy as well as 

CPS goals.  Though there is no one solution in mind, preliminary thinking includes some 

type of  virtual community that will provide on-going project management learning for our 

alumni, offer them insight into additional opportunities to learn through the NU lifelong 

learning network to provide alumni a landing page for project management insights, best 

practice templates and tools as well as provide a connection for our current students with 

alumni for menterships, co-ops, internships and even full-time jobs.
