Workday Project Update

We begin the new fiscal/academic year this month, finishing up the final adjustments for Workday Finance, HCM and Payroll, while preparing for exploratory calls that will begin during the month of September for Workday Student (phase 2).

Phase 2 kicks off this fall with many rounds of discussions for the architecture and building process of the Workday Student tenant. The technical aspects of Student will impact processes related to admissions, financial aid, registrar's office, academic advising and more. Additional information will be shared in future Workday News issues as well as the Workday Project Website!

Workday Wednesdays resume in early August as a casual, drop-in opportunity to ask questions, review processes, or build confidence using the system. The August sessions will meet in HUB side room 202 from 9-11 a.m. and are open to anyone needing quick assistance or task support.

Carlisle Summerfair is looking for a representative from the college to serve on its governing board. Established in 1977, Carlisle Summerfair was the brainchild of the late Wayne Powell, formerly of The Sentinel. He wanted something for the families in the area to do over the Fourth of July. The board of directors is made up entirely of volunteers from throughout the greater Carlisle area. Some represent businesses while others serve as community volunteers. The goal is to offer free, family friendly events around the 4th of July holiday for the Carlisle area.

With the generous support of many of our great business sponsors, they are able to put on over 35 events each year over about a week-long period of time that include things like baby races, a kid’s carnival, mini-golf tournament, the Harrisburg Symphony concerts, open swimming pool nights, fishing derby, historical tours and many other events.

Board meetings are held on campus, the first Monday of every month from 4-5 p.m. Reach out to Jennifer Love with any interest and for more information.
