Elvin Isgrig, senior lecturer in industrial engineering and management, has been appointed director for educational services of the Project Management Institute, Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania

Effective January 1, 1987, Isgrig will be responsible for coordinating national and international seminars and workshops in addition to managing the PMI educational publications program, developing and conducting project management education and training programs in support of the Project Management Professional Certification, and proposing new educational, research and training initiatives.

An emerging industry, project management was first used in aerospace, construction and communications and has broadened out to pharmaceutical industries, accounting firms and office automation.

"Project management has been added to the curriculum at NDSU in industrial engineering and has proven very attractive to prospective employers," Isgrig said.

Before coming to NDSU six years ago, Isgrig was dean of the Defense Management College for the Department of Defense at Fort Belboir, Va., and has managed projects and programs for the U. S. Air Force for 25 years.

Isgrig attended a PMI seminar/symposium September 21-24 in Montreal.

He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Elvy Isgrig of Glenfield.
