- Deans Meeting
On October 5, 2005 Dr. Heather Stewart gave an invited presentation on the Banner Project at the Deans Meeting. The talk emphasized the project as an opportunity for the University come together to define its data needs and to recast systems of storing, using and reporting information to make decisions based on data. Placing the launch of the project in context, she described that the implementation phase came after a year long selection process during which time the Seton Hall community outlined its needs, brought vendors to campus for product review and ultimately chose the Sungard Banner product. The discussion underscored that, in addition to being an opportunity for institutional improvement, the upgrade was necessary as the current systems of record for the University's finance, human resources, payroll and student information are on a system that is obsolete and may become unsupported in the very near future placing the University at risk..
Detail on the four sections or modules of the banner implementation was provided and a description of the opportunities for involvement through the Teaching, Learning and Technology Roundtable, advisory groups and the core team organizational structure was provided, noting that Dr. Joe Molitoris, Associate Provost for Assessment, Planning and Institutional Research and Dr. Tracy Gottlieb, Dean for Freshman Studies were on the Executive Committee of the project.

In continued efforts to collaborate on institutional needs, the College of Education and Human Services extended an invitation to meet and discuss the banner project at its assessment meeting. Dr. Joe Depierro, Dean of the college and faculty member Dr. Grace May coordinated the visit. The purpose of the meeting was to understand the Banner project and to identify any areas of potential collaboration.
In a related thread, the Banner Data Integrity team held its first meeting. Led by Mike Garcia, University Internal Auditor and Dennis Garbini, Vice President for Finance and Technology, the team is focussing its initial efforts on collection of reports and outputs that the University currently uses to establish if and how the Banner system can simplify the process. |
