Update from Stacey

I’m writing this on Wednesday evening, and the snow has started for real. I look forward to finding out snow totals in the morning.

In addition to tracking snow predictions, the past week has included many reminders of how connected ASR is to all kinds of work at the University. We provided data from the Offices of the Registrar and Classroom Management to inform reduced operations decision-making. I’ve been in meetings on varied topics ranging from integrations with bookstore systems to exploring staffing arrangements between Rochester and Twin Cities One Stop Student Services. 

Information we are providing to the Email for Life project is critical to understanding why a student’s relationship with the University continues even when they don’t have enrollment. We are coordinating with Human Resources on processes for legal name changes, and the list goes on. I’m grateful to be in a position to see all of these ways that ASR supports the entire University. Thank you as always for your hard work on behalf of our students and the University.
