LABUG 2024 conference report
- Kidd, Denise
This year, LABUG partnered with MBUG to host this year’s conference located in Biloxi, MS.
Sessions attended
Banner Bootcamp & New Banner Users/New Conference Attendees
Nice session to attend, but not specifically a value-add
Affects of one department on another
Very broad overview of how transactions and data in the Student module affect the AR module
Empower your institution: A dive into unexplored services
Ellucian representative discussing consultant services
Student Records - A year in the life of a registrar
Confirmed we’re doing things right - everyone has institutional specific practices that seem odd to others
Student ‘birds of a feather’
The nightmare called curricula
Exploration of LCTCS' homegrown major change solution.
Jamie indicated that the underlying scripts should work with Workflow.
Pinto to limo - awarding degrees with Banner and Degree Works
Demonstration of a one-click interface for responsible parties (major/minor/degree certifiers) to certify students which will award the degree
Reflection
I enjoyed the opportunity to meet other people from schools outside of Louisiana.
What’s next
Thinking about creating TuBUG to generate interest in LABUG
I would like to do a joint session with Mike Pilman and maybe even Shelby and Meredith to demonstrate how data is used between the modules.
I’d like to host a Banner Jeopardy or Bingo session
I’d also like to do a workshop on how to develop/communicate requirements to our IT colleagues. The general consensus is that everyone struggles with this relationship.
