PMI Global Accreditation Center

We're excited to shine the spotlight on Dr. Daniela (Dana) Pavel, who has served as a GAC Accreditation Team Volunteer for 9+ years. What lights Dana up about working in project management education? She shares: "I strongly believe in the purpose of academic accreditation to enhance the quality of project management academic programs. I cherish the collaboration with my team members and the leadership and faculty of the institutions we visit in sharing our best practices for the purpose of GAC standard alignment. I am constantly inspired by the success and achievements of students and alumni in our accredited Project Management programs. Many students have no prior knowledge of Project Management when starting their accredited academic programs; due to the high quality of the academic programs in compliance with the GAC accreditation standards, students manage to get PM-related jobs and later be promoted to higher-level jobs or even start their own businesses." #PMIgnite #ProjectManagementEducation #Inspire

✨ What lights you up? ✨ We believe in the transformative power of connecting your passion to purpose. In project management, this connection can inspire incredible growth and innovation. Whether it’s the thrill of collaboration, the joy of knowledge sharing, or the satisfaction of applying skills to make an impact on meaningful real-world issues, there are countless ways to find fulfillment in this profession that spans roles, industries, and communities. Educators and students, we invite you to reflect on what drives you. How do you define your purpose? How does your work in project management align with your personal and professional passions?  Share your thoughts in the comments or in a personal post using the hashtag #PMIgnite #ProjectManagementEducation #Inspiration
