Technology@Wooster

On the afternoon of Monday, November 3, the College hosted a group of administrators from Kalamazoo College.  Kalamazoo is a fellow member of the Consortium of Liberal Arts Colleges (CLAC).  They contemplate a project very similar to our OSCAR initiative, became aware of OSCAR through conversations at CLAC events, and paid their visit hoping to gain insights from Wooster’s experiences.

The nine member Kalamazoo team was led by Greg Diment, Associate Provost for Information Services, and Marian Stowers, Director of Financial Aid. Greg and Marian co-chair the Kalamazoo team charged with evaluating administrative software solutions. Wooster participants included Tabby Conwell, Monica Crawford, Vince Di Scipio, Mary Schantz and David Waldron from IT, as well as Suzanne Bates, Todd Burson, Cathy Finks, David Miller, Natalie Richardson and Pam Stanley.

Prior to the launch of OSCAR’s implementation phase, a group from Wooster paid a similar visit to Washington & Jefferson College. W & J was an excellent host and we at Wooster were delighted to have the opportunity to pay their good turn forward. Best of luck to Kalamazoo.
