I am currently serving as chair of a university wide Technology in Advising Team dedicated to assisting colleagues in learning about the tech tools that we use to serve students. Our team has taken a leadership role in working towards the implementation of an upgraded version of Degree Works, a component of Ellucian's Banner system that we use to review student coursework and make notes based on advising meetings. As the leader of this team I have designed and implemented training for advisors across campus, including a special train the trainer for advising center supervisors and directors.
I have served as chair of the team since June 2017. From June 2016 - June 2017, I served as chair elect, and from August 2015 - June 2016, I served as the team's secretary.
In order to have the best possible knowledge of the tool, I have been working closely with colleagues in the Registrar's Office, software developers from the university's Information Technology Office, and consultants from Ellucian.
