During my years working in higher education, I have often led, or been a team member of, a group managing a project. These projects have included preparing for a 10‐year accreditation review; building or furnishing new buildings or even new campuses; creating emergency protocols; writing documents such as the curriculum catalog, faculty manual, and staff handbook; revising the general education curriculum; merging with other colleges; holding a major event on campus; and helping the college system host a state, regional, or national conference. I'm sure you can think of countless projects you've worked on. If you're new to administration, you will receive many project management assignments in the future.
