As we get closer to the launch of Workday Student, you’ll start to hear more about implementation strategies, training plans and transition activities that ES will be engaged in. To support us in this work, a group of ES and IRP Transformation and Change Management resources have been recruited to form the ES Transition Network (ESTN). Read on to find out who is a part of the ESTN and their role in support of our transition to Workday student.

Transition Network (TN)

The Transition Network includes Primary and Local Transition Leads (PTLs and LTLs) who act as key sources of information about IRP Student for their faculty, unit, department, or team. They work in collaboration with Community Engagement Partners embedded in the IRP to develop plans to complete testing, training and all other transition activities leading up to Workday Student implementation.

Primary Transition Leads (PTL) and support team

PTLs are the primary liaisons between Enrolment Services and the IRP Student Transformation and Change Management team. The Enrolment Services PTLs are:

  • Primary Transition Lead UBCO: Bert Annear, Deputy Registrar
  • Primary Transition Lead UBCV: Annie Yim, Deputy Registrar and HR Director
  • PTL co-lead: Coby Thurmeier, Learning & Engagement Strategist
  • ES TN Coordinator: Ryan Lai, Special Projects Coordinator

Local Transition Leads (LTL)

LTLs are trusted experts in their areas who will support change and system adoption within their functional area. As we prepare for the transition to Workday Student, LTLs will become your key points of contact for information and activities for your team:
