Create a PowerPoint presentation on effective project management strategies and techniques with specific focus areas like planning, execution, monitoring & controlling, team building, risk mitigation, communication, stakeholder engagement, quality assurance, budgeting, scheduling, resource allocation, change management, scope creep prevention, knowledge transfer, and closure. Ensure that the content is concise, visually appealing, interactive, and backed by practical examples, best practices, tips & tricks, statistics, quotes from experts or thought leaders in project management field, tools, templates, checklists, diagrams, flowcharts, infographics, videos, images, audio clips, links to relevant resources, Q&A sessions, quizzes, and assessments. Use a consistent style guide with appropriate font sizes, colors, themes, transitions, animations, layouts, slide numbers, references, citations, acknowledgements, disclaimers, feedback mechanisms, and accessibility features for diverse audiences including beginners, intermediate learners, advanced practitioners, managers, executives, consultants, coaches, trainers, students, researchers, and auditors.

During college campuses’ protests against Israel’s war on Gaza this year, students have been inspired by a long history of university activism that dates back decades before the height of the Civil Rights Movement in the US. One notable example was Howard University Law School students who began practicing “stool-sitting technique” during segregation in Washington D.C., where they would go to restaurants and demand service, even if it meant being arrested or beaten by police. In 1960, four Black students from North Carolina A&T led a sit-in at Woolworth’s department store that resulted in the end of racial segregation policies six months later. The Vietnam War also sparked widespread protests among American college campuses during the mid-1960s as students demanded an immediate withdrawal and protested against military aid, ultimately leading to US troop withdrawal from Cambodia eight weeks after its invasion started. Students successfully pressured multiple universities nationwide in between 1965 and 1987 to cut financial ties with companies that supported South Africa’s apartheid regime through student-led protests on campuses demanding their institutions divest from all South African investments. Thousands of University of California Berkeley students protested against the university withdrawing its holdings in 1985, leading to $3 billion worth of stock holdings being divested by UC Berkley a year later. In December 2014 and again during summer break for most colleges last year following George Floyd’s death, students across America joined the Black Lives Matter movement that stemmed from protests against police violence in Black communities after Trayvon Martin was killed. While Columbia University became the first US college to divest from private prison companies in 2015 and Georgetown university changed names on its two buildings that sold slaves during campus demands for greater representation of minorities, many students remain adamant about not abandoning their encampments until they receive satisfactory results. The recent protests against Israel’s war on Gaza have been met with police confrontations in some instances and mass arrests due to the authorities calling them in as a result. However, most students involved claim that such actions are reminiscent of those undertaken by student-led social movements during past decades when they were fighting for civil rights or against apartheid regimes.
