Texas A&M University San Antonio Work Values

Daily Duties at Texas A&M University San Antonio:

At the President’s request, in an effort to becoming a stand-alone campus, I was asked to undertake some “Information Technology Projects”. I have been tasked to oversee as a project lead the Banner Implementation Project, Operational Data Storage Project, Cognos (a reporting writing tool) Project, Degree Works Project, and Luminis (Student/Faculty/Staff Portal) Project. Under the direction and supervision of the CFO, serve as the functional leader to ensure the successful implementation of Banner and associated modules. Managed the implementation of Banner and associated modules to include compliance, managing the associated contracts, the budget associated with the implementation, confirm completion of work prior to project invoices, meeting strict deadlines, tracking the timeline, provides updates and briefing, and developing and implementing a communication plan. Works closely with the technical project team and supports needs of other SIS (Student Information System) stakeholders to ensure the system is maintained and available for operational use (i.e. admissions, financial aid, business office, and registrar functions).

What they like about Texas A&M University San Antonio:

Working for a company with an emphasis on social values and helping society is a clear and important priority for you - a critical factor in who you choose to work for. In contrast to other factors, you place an organization's reputation for fairness and concern for the community above most other aspects of the company. As you search for a new job opportunity, it is usually possible to find out if the company is involved in the community and/or if it is addressing problems and issues in society. Pay special attention to non-profit organizations and those specifically involved in social action. Moreover, speaking with current and former employees should enlighten you to perceptions of the fairness of the company's leaders and the treatment of employees.
