Two RGU teams heading to the final of a Project Management competition
What is happening? “The Voice”, a team of six MSc Project Management students of The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen is currently taking part in a National competition sponsored by the Association for Project Management (APM) Scottish PM Challenge 2013-2104.
The team is organising a Charity fund raiser Football match with the aim of raising £1500.00 for Rape Crisis Scotland.
Why is it happening? To create public awareness on the negative impact of sexual violence against men and women and press for attitudinal and legal change, as well as encourage the unfortunate victims of the crime to seek professional counselling from Rape Crisis Scotland and its affiliates. The Scottish Sun reported, as of November 5th 2013, an average of five incidents daily.
How is it happening? Two teams will be playing in the football match and they are the Project Management students (MSc) and the Oil & Gas Engineering students (MSc). Attendance of the match is free; however, donations will be taken from well-meaning attendees. Donations are already on-going via https://rapecrisis.workwithus.org/Fundraising/Donate.aspx?page=8185.
“No matter the excuse it is an unacceptable crime” – Clinton
