Duluth updates (January 2018)

Higher Learning Commission (HLC) recertification
UMD is in the middle of our Higher Learning Commission (HLC) recertification with an April 2018 visit anticipated.

Darland space reconfigured
Next time you visit Duluth you will see changes to the first floor of the Darland Administration building, outside of the registrar, student financial services, and financial aid offices. We are thrilled that a unisex restroom is being added to the first floor to serve our students and guests. Additionally a conference room is replacing a no longer used information desk.

OTR exploration of Google tools
OTR is exploring a couple of new Google applications/G Suite tools. One is called Data Studio and the other is Jamboard. Data Studio has powerful options for managing data and sharing it with our users. Jamboard is a google collaborative “smartboard” that saves your “jam”/work directly to the google drive which can be shared/secured the same way of docs, sheets, etc. We are using it for PS training as well as for collaborative projects.

Staff news
The athletic and academic records coordinator search is in its final stages. An offer will be extended this month.
