Announcements

Join us for a collegial faculty watch party of the NCFDD Mastering Time Management webinar on Thursday, April 9 from 2:00–3:00 pm in the Center for Teaching, Learning & Scholarship (in the lower level of the library). This NCFDD webinar offers concrete, practical strategies for managing time and priorities in academic life. Participants will learn about the three biggest mistakes faculty make in managing their time, how to align work time with institutional and personal priorities, ways to create dedicated time for academic writing and research, and how to build a network of support and accountability to sustain productivity and balance. Watch alongside colleagues in a supportive environment, with opportunities for informal conversation before and after the session. Coffee, tea, and snacks will be provided to keep you energized and engaged. No need to register, just come as you are, bring your questions, and leave with ideas you can put into practice right away!

This contest is open to all currently enrolled Dickinson students and will be judged by poet Chanlee Luu, author of _The Machine Autocorrects to I_. The winner will receive $100 and a one-year membership to the Academy. Winning entries will also be considered for publication by the Academy.

Welcome to the April 2026 edition of our Workday monthly e-newsletter, your source for updates and insights about Dickinson’s transition to Workday.

Workday’s March update is now live! These twice-yearly updates happen automatically in March and September, and continue to bring improvements to features, security, and overall usability. The project team reviewed and tested changes in advance to keep things running smoothly. The most noticeable change this round is the updated navigation in the Web view and the mobile app. The new pinned sidebar keeps your apps and tasks visible, making it quicker and easier to get where you need to go.

As Workday continues to evolve, we’re also continuing to support the campus through Workday Wednesdays. Based on the positive feedback we’ve received, these informal, drop-in sessions will continue throughout the spring. Whether you have a quick question or need help with a task, stop by for assistance. See the dates included in the full version of the newsletter (click the more information link) or check EngageD for upcoming dates, times, and locations.

Looking ahead, the next big milestone is the launch of Workday Adaptive Planning in May. Adaptive Planning is Workday’s budgeting and forecasting tool, designed to make it easier to plan, model scenarios, and manage budgets in a more flexible and collaborative way. Our Technology Transformation also includes the addition of Prism, an internal tool to support operations with analytics and reporting, which will enhance our current data capabilities in Workday.

During the fall semester, we will begin to plan, develop and build the Student tenant as part of Workday phase 2, with an ultimate go-live goal for Student in 2028. To explore what happens in these next phases of Workday, please visit the Workday Project Website.
