Database Specialist John Ma has left the College to attend graduate school. During his six year tenure in the Applications Development group, John provided support for our admissions and payroll applications. Most recently he worked intensively on the large scale data conversions associated with our implementation of Colleague Advancement for the Offices of Development and Alumni Affairs. We’ll miss John and wish him the very best with his studies.

The Development Office and the Office of Information Technology are hard at work on the implementation of Colleague Advancement. One of the critical processes this implementation entails is the transfer of data from the legacy software system to Colleague Advancement. Users cannot interact with Colleague during data transfer. In an effort to minimize the impact upon the user community, the data transfers will be conducted on weekends. Because there is so much data that must be processed, the transfers will be conducted over multiple weekends. The tentative schedule appears below. Colleague (Datatel) will be completely unavailable during these intervals. ScotWeb and Wintegrate will also be unavailable. We regret any inconvenience this may cause. Please contact Marlene Brown at x2304 if you have any questions.
