Sue updates (May 2018)

We are headed into the summer months which brings a lot of activity, not all realized by many outside of our work. It is so rewarding to see the success of students and the entry of the next class on our campuses. Our work is rewarding and worthwhile. I love seeing students in their regalia with friends and family taking pictures. I saw a graduate in the airport wearing their regalia which made me smile. Another student entered a restaurant with regalia on and I took the opportunity to send over a beverage. All of us should feel gratitude that we have contributed in helping students like these.

As we work to close the 9.2 Campus Solutions PS project, there have been some setbacks. The teams are working to resolve these and not hinder future projects. The uAchieve implementation project is close to kickoff and the team has been meeting to prepare and get this moving forward. Plus we have hosts of other projects to start moving ahead on in short order.

As many of you know, Ted Skogman from student finance has retired after more than 40 years of service to the University. He has been a terrific colleague and we wish him well. Also, Grant Clavelle has announced his retirement date for this September. I am working to get this position posted very soon. Grant has been instrumental in moving the University forward in the technology world and in putting students first. Thank you to both Ted and Grant.
