Future Project Leaders: Career, Mentorship & Certification Night at University of South Carolina
Mentor. Teach. Inspire. Give Back.
Join us for the Future Project Leaders Open House at the University of South Carolina. This initiative is put together by PMI SC in conjunction with several student clubs. The initiative seeks to introduce college students to project management, prepare them for the CAPM certification, and connect them with experienced professionals. This is our contribution to the community.
Date/Time: Thursday, September 10, 2026 | 5:30 PM
Venue: Swearingen Engineering Center, 301 Main Street, Columbia, SC 29208, (Suite 1A05). University of South Carolina
We are seeking:
⦿ Instructors to facilitate CAPM workshops
⦿ Mentors to provide career and professional guidance
⦿ Supporters to assist with program activities
⦿ Members willing to listen, encourage, and share their experiences
You do not need to be an instructor or CAPM expert to make a difference. Whether you support one session or the entire program, your experience and encouragement can help a student envision a future in project management.
Attend the open house to meet the students, learn more, and discover how you can contribute.
Together, we can develop the next generation of confident and capable project leaders.
