Hi everyone,
I am organizing a course-project for any current MBA students who wish
to prepare to take the PMP (Project Management Professional) exam.
This will be a 1.5 credit course project which will include one
preliminary meeting in mid-May, four face-to-face meetings during
period 7, and an exam. The course-project will be in English (although
students may ask questions or communicate with the professor in
French). Please see the attached description for more information.
Note to students who plan to eventually take the PMP credential exam:
There is a fee of approximately $500 US to write the PMP exam.
Pre-requisites: Students must have taken at least one project
management course (either at HEC or at another post-secondary
institution).
INTERESTED STUDENTS should contact me by email at Ann-Frances Cameron (ann-frances•cameron©hec•ca) before April 27th. Their email should indicate what project management courses they have taken or are taking.

The Risk Management Career Conference aims at bringing together employers and graduate students interested in Finance, Risk Management, Economics, Financial Mathematics and/or Financial Engineering. Students from several different universities are present, such as HEC Montreal, ESG-UQAM, McGill, Concordia, Sherbrooke, Laval and Université de Montréal.
There are speakers during this event which are professionals working in Finance, Risk Management or Financial Engineering who will be talking about career perspectives in their industry and simultaneously organizations will have booths on the premises in order to interact with students & recruit potential employees. In the past years, approximately 200 students and/or potential candidates attended the event and took advantage of this great opportunity to network with professionals from the largest financial institutions in Quebec. See PRMIA Montreal’s website for further detail.
The campaign for / against the strike has already begun even though the debate on increasing tuition fees seems to escape from students. The debate for / against the increase in tuition between the University of Montreal students aims to enable students to take back the arguments and make visible a debate that is too often happening in a closed circuit (within student associations or in media where people take ownership of the students point of the views).
Students from different student associations would organize it. The sociology students association of University of Montreal felt that they should work on a partnership with the HEC Montreal graduate students associations to give the image of an unbiased debate and get the support from a maximum of other student associations. However, the idea is not to organize a debate between HEC Montreal that would support a position vs. social studies departments that would support the other. The debate is for / against, no matters the student discipline of study.
Media (eg, CISM student radio and the Montreal press) would be invited for the occasion in addition to the large invitation to students and professors from the University of Montreal. The activity would take place in an amphitheater at the University of Montreal. Schedule: in February 2012.
If you would be interested to participate in this activity, please send a note to Jean-Nicolas Denis (president©hecaemba•org) before the end of January.
Please keep in mind that HEC Montréal demands a minimum of 2.3 GPA to continue in the MBA program. A student is considered in probation if his/her GPA is between 2.3 and 2.7 and has one probation period to bring it up.
