Lessons Learned And Reflections

After speaking with John from Vanderbuilt, he brought up the idea of how they integrate their CDC and Admissions offices, which I thought was interesting. The reason is that they are trying to size up the student's potential employability in their major (ie Ibanking) before they are admitted so that the student's expectations are managed regarding what they can expect in regard to a job and new skills when they graduate. By having the offices co-located, they create synergies to better server the student; kind of interesting.

Day One Morning

Steve opened with introductions with the usual info requested, name,what we did, what our goals for the conference were, where we were born and to tell something that is not true about our selfs. At least 4 people mentioned that they were sad that St Louis lost the World Series last year to the Sox. (We have a few Sox fans here in Boston) We learned that we have few skiers and water sports freaks. There was quite a lot of interest in the CRM module we are going to start to design real soon. Donna Swinford mentioned that they were using 7 programs and 9 applications at one point this year. Wow. Multi program support rocks!! Steve also mentioned that one big change in the app was that the admins can work remotely more easily due to the ability to download the app using Java web start.
