Patriot Connect Update-September 2024

Dear Colleague,

Thank you for your interest in the Patriot Connect program! We are excited to share recent updates with you.


Visit the Patriot Connect Program Website

We are thrilled to announce the Patriot Connect program website is here! The site is dedicated to helping the George Mason community plan and prepare for the transition to Patriot Connect, the university’s new system of engagement for the student journey. Learn about the Patriot Connect platform, including its release timeline, progress to “Go Live,” the Patriot Connect team, and news and announcements. The site will also include answers to frequently asked questions and, once available, links to valuable resources and training materials to help faculty, staff, and students prepare for Patriot Connect.

On the Horizon: Release 1 Training Timeline

Patriot Connect Release 1: Student Success will launch in late April/early May 2025. The Patriot Connect team is dedicated to ensuring that all impacted users receive thorough training and are fully prepared for the upcoming transition. This fall, we will begin a detailed training needs analysis to define audiences, necessary topics, and the best delivery methods for each area. We will start developing the curriculum, organizing content, and coordinating with our technology and learning teams in winter 2024. The curriculum is scheduled to be available for Release 1 end user training in March 2025, with additional resources and support provided throughout the implementation. If live training is recommended for your role, both you and your supervisors will be notified well in advance. Depending on your role, you may not need live training until April 2025 or later. For more information, check out these training FAQs.

In Case You Missed It: Promoting Patriot Connect Across George Mason

We are identifying opportunities to socialize changes and increase awareness of Patriot Connect by participating in various unit meetings across George Mason. If your team, unit, college, or school is interested in hosting a Patriot Connect guest speaker at an upcoming meeting, let’s connect!


As always, we welcome your feedback. Please feel free to share the sign up form with your colleagues who are interested in staying up to date with Patriot Connect.

Sincerely,

The Patriot Connect Program Management Team
