Now that the semester is over and many of our projects are done, I realize what a success it has been for everyone! For me, I organized the Global Awareness Fair, which was wonderfully attended, and showcased businesses who are impacting the world in positive ways. However, there are many things yet to do in other project areas. Here are a few quick tips for anyone facing an upcoming project:


1. Start Early - Procrastination is the enemy of most project managers, so always be sure to start planning your project early. There is always A LOT to be done, even when a project is far from the deadline. You will thank yourself in the end for planning ahead.

2. Sometimes Friends are your Best Resources - When planning the Global Awareness Fair, I was in need of companies to exhibit at the last minute. Little did I know that a fellow classmate has his own business that is environmentally focused and was looking for an event like this to get his company name heard! You never know who can come to your aid, and that person might be closer than you think.
