As most of you will know by now, the Integrated Renewal Program (IRP) is well under way, and the HR and Finance streams are gearing up for the upcoming launch in April of next year!
With with a little more than six months to go, you can expect to start seeing a lot more information about the upcoming changes to the HR and Finance systems.
What is the Transition Network?
In order to streamline communications and to ensure everybody has the support they need for the upcoming changes, the IRP created the Transition Network. This network consists of two roles:
Transition Leads – act as the single point of contact for requests and requirements, triages all requests and acts as the primary liaison between the project and you.
Transition Captains – provide guidance and support to transition leads, and engage with the IRP to understand change and implications for the people in our department
The Enrolment Services Transition Network consists of:
HR Stream:
- Ashley Elchuk, HR Business Partner – Transition Lead
- Julia Shen, Financial Analyst – Transition Captain
Finance Stream:
- Maria Mannella, Manager, Student Financial Management – Transition Lead
- Julia Shen, Financial Analyst – Transition Captain
Student Stream:
- Coby Thurmeier, Learning & Engagement Strategist – Transition Lead
- Mike Becir, Associate Director, Student Support & Advising – Transition Lead
- Ellen Luu, Scheduling Team Lead – Transition Captain
- Tiffany Yang, Student Records Team Lead – Transition Captain
If you have any questions about what’s to come, please connect with the relevant transition network member!
