Ellucian is now accepting applications for three vacancies they have on the PowerCampus Customer Advisory Board (CAB).

The PowerCampus CAB was created to obtain customer feedback and to keep lines of communication open between Ellucian and the client base. The Advisory Board assists with the priorities of the backlog and is a sounding board for strategic direction.

The Board meets quarterly by video conference and the meetings are normally one hour in length. Ad hoc meetings may be called as needed. The initial term is two years, although many members have had longer terms to maintain continuity during board cycles.

Members of the Advisory Board will select the new candidates and notifications will be sent out no later than September 4, 2015. When selecting candidates, the aim is to maintain representation from across our client base from a geographical perspective as well as an institutional demographic perspective—large/small, two year/four year, traditional/non-traditional, for profit/not for profit. This ensures a balance that is comparable to the client base. The Board is encouraging representation from some of the under-represented areas including the Southeast, Central, and Northwest regions, public/state schools, and customers with over 2,000 FTE students.

The first meeting following the selection of new members will be October 14, 2015.

We hope you’ll consider becoming a member of the PowerCampus CAB, and help us shape the future for the product. We’re very excited to have the opportunity to work closely with you and gain insight into your needs and how Ellucian can help you succeed. The deadline for applications is August 14, 2015.

If you have additional questions about the PowerCampus Advisory Board, please don’t hesitate to contact me at carol.dandary@ellucian.com.

Please take time to vote for your PowerCampus Users Group officers. Each PowerCampus institution may vote only once. Results will be announced during the annual business meeting being held at Ellucian Live on Tuesday, April 14 at 12:45pm CST.

Hello all PowerCampus Users,

It’s that time again, Ellucian Live in New Orleans is just around the corner and that means it’s time to take nominations/volunteers to serve as officers for your PowerCampus Users Group Board (PCUG).

This year we have 2 positions that must be filled, Vice President and Communications Officer. The Vice President position is a 2 year term, the first year is served as Vice President and the second year is served as the President of PCUG. Communications Officer is a 2 year term.

Duties vary from year to year based on the focus that the Board has and both positions are very important to the community. PCUG has refocused their goals and directives in the recent past and the hope is that the new officers will continue to organize and make PCUG an even stronger resource in the future for all PowerCampus Institutions.

If you would like to nominate someone, or volunteer yourself to take part in the election of these positions send your nomination to, jem2@tc3.edu and we will add you to the ballot.

Nominations will be taken until March 13, 2015.

Exciting things are happening with PCUG and our community is growing and thriving. Your participation will help PCUG continue this momentum and progress.

Thank you,
James MacLain
