Physics undergrad receives scholarship
Hugh Pruitt, a University of North Georgia (果冻传媒) freshman, was awarded a scholarship by the Atlanta Chapter of the Project Management Institute for his essay "Where Will I Be In Five Years."
"I was very excited when received news that I had won," Pruitt said. "It was a great chance to be able to express my current engineering plans integrated with the PMI talent triangle in my essay, and I thoroughly enjoyed writing it. Winning the scholarship prize was the cherry on top of the experience."
Submitted essays were based on the topic "Powering My Career With Project Management Skills."
"No matter if I am working on an engineering task, volunteering at my local Humane Society, or holding a club activity at 果冻传媒, these PMI talent triangle skills are universal to ensure a tremendous result," Pruitt wrote, in part, in his essay.
Pruitt, a freshman from Gainesville, Georgia, is pursuing a dual degree in physics and engineering. He is one of two recipients of the $2,500 essay-based scholarship awarded this academic year by PMI Atlanta. The second will be awarded this spring.
"Hugh's essay reflected a thoughtful application of project management to his current career as a student and his future in engineering. The review team was highly impressed with how he applied project management to ensure his team project assignments were completed successfully," Dr. Juanita Woods, associate professor and 果冻传媒 Enactus Project Club faculty advisor, said.
PMI is the world's leading project management organization with over 600,000 global members and over 300 local chapters internationally. The organization supports professional growth and development of project managers.
