Please note an important change of location:

The Administrative Systems Information Session will be held from noon to 1 p.m. Monday, Oct. 16, in Room 304, Murray-Herrick Campus Center, not Room 208, O’Shaughnessy-Frey Library Center as originally announced. Pizza and beverages will be provided; all are invited.

If you are on the Minneapolis campus and interested in attending via videoconference, please come to the live session at noon Monday in Room LL09, Terrence Murphy Hall.

The strategic directions announced by the Rev. Dennis Dease, president of St. Thomas, on Sept. 22 included a “commitment to the purchase and installation of a new comprehensive administrative computing system.” This system will replace the existing Student Information, Financial, Human Resources, and Alumni and Development systems and will provide additional functionality as needed.

An Administrative Systems Steering Committee has been formed and charged with making a recommendation on the preferred system. Jean Haley, chair, and other members of the committee invite all interested members of the UST community to an administrative systems kickoff event. An overview of the project will be presented, including a description of the process that will be used to identify user needs and define the requirements for the next system.

If you are unable to attend or have questions about the project, please address them to Jean Haley at (651) 962-5016 or send e-mail to jwhaley@stthomas.edu.
