Dear Colleague,
Thank you for your interest in the Patriot Connect program! We are excited to share recent updates with you.
A Big Thank You!
A big thank you to all who helped create and review the work products related to the Patriot Connect Change Management milestone! This collective effort marks a significant achievement for the Patriot Connect team and stakeholders. We have successfully completed the Organizational Change Management (OCM) plan, which encompasses our change strategy, training plan, and communications and marketing plan for the program. Supported by documents like the change readiness assessment and Patriot Connect stakeholder lists, the OCM plan helps to explain how Patriot Connect will manage and communicate the people side of change for the program. Your commitment and collaboration have played a pivotal role in shaping a comprehensive change plan for Patriot Connect.
On the Horizon: Designing the Future of Student Success
The Patriot Connect team will continue to work diligently throughout the summer, moving into the design stage for release one: Student Success. For the past two months, the focus has been on conducting discovery sessions for release one, which concentrated on confirming system requirements and planning future features and capabilities. This summer, the team will take the information collected throughout the discovery sessions to design the Student Success coaching and advising and Student Support case management tools for the Patriot Connect platform. During this time, the Patriot Connect team will continue to meet regularly with unit liaisons and other functional and technical representatives to confirm the design meets the university’s needs before building and testing the effectiveness of the tools.
