The director of project management program and the acting President of the BU Project Management Association are interested in updating the website for the PMA.
The current website is listed at: http://www.bu-pm.com/pma/
While this gives BU-PMA Web presence, it is a totally static website.
There is no way to interact with student members or even collect an active list of students who want to become members or who want to receive a free monthly newsletter.
A dynamic database linked to the current site that will receive the following information from current and former students
The key goal of the database is to collect email addresses and send out 8 news letters each year.
Also the database should collect information from students optionally if they want to contribute in any way. interested_in_contributing_how is a COMMENT box.
Other proposed ideas could stem from Google apps wrapper for the website so that things like calendar, email etc can be integrated. Also Google apps has chat and google talk. The sponsors are interested in providing this wrapper now or in a future implementation.
The project team can be creative to make it a valuable social net for PM graduates or current students.
