Yay, it seems our product is receiving an outstanding reception, students and staff alike. Thank you all for being there today to present our work to Laura and Joanna. From what I gathered, it seems like they are interested in using this and turning it into a live product. A definite resume and portfolio piece to add that a grassroots product we have been working on as a team was taken up by the school (and really could be used to ground any potential data strategy for the OSA / CDO).
And I can follow-up with them to see how we can arrange for at least one paid position to work on this in the Fall. Does anybody have any work plans / part-time work lined up for fall? If not, let me know if you'd be interested in working to make a position out of this. (I still don't know my fall schedule and like I said, I definitely plan on using this for classes so I don't feel the need for compensation and would rather have me and at least one other work on this)
As for the short-term, I'll make arrangements to meet with Heather (and possibly Michael Hess) to see their point of view from a strategy point of view as an automated system. I feel like I might even have to arrange a meeting with Judy and Tom, associate deans, to really get UMSI to think about it's data strategy for student-facing services, but we will get there when we get there.
for now, enjoy the summer! thanks for all your hard work, the site looks, feels, and works fantastically! As the next semester approaches, I'll reach out to all of y'all again to reconnect and see if this might fit into your schedule.
Ying, mind emailing me the demo links that you choose? the ones we viewed today have the most complete look and I'd like to continue using that path for any future meetings.
Please keep in touch and see y'all around!
Edgar
