​Join Us for a Project Management Certifications Panel! 🎓

​Planning to lead teams, manage projects, or step into a senior role someday?

​Whether you're studying AI, data analytics, computer science, or any other field – you don't have to be a PM major to benefit!
The people who end up running projects and leading teams are often the ones who understand how work actually gets delivered — and certifications are one of the clearest ways to build and signal that skillset early.

​Come hear from working professionals and recent cert-earners on which certifications are worth your time, how they open doors into management and leadership, and how to get started while you're still in school.

​Our panelists span Agile/Scrum credentials, PMI certifications, exam prep, and real-world industry experience across tech and beyond — so whether you're cert-curious or already studying, there's something for you.

​*Panelists announced soon!
