April 2025 Highlights

Faculty and Staff a Play Key Role in the Workday Student Project

The success of Workday Student relies on collaboration across GVSU. Faculty and staff play a vital role by serving as Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), sharing their expertise in workstream meetings to support a smooth transition. Many are also involved in key Advisory Groups, including: 

 

  • Change Management Advisory Group- Guides stakeholder engagement, communication, and training
  • Communications Advisory Group- Ensures clear and transparent messaging
  • Academic Affairs Advisory Group- Represents diverse perspectives in decision-making 

Learn more about SMEs and Advisory Groups on the Project Team webpage. Contact us with any questions about these groups.

 

Workday Website: A Fresh Look is Coming!

We're improving the Workday website to make it more intuitive, accessible, and user-friendly. The updated site will feature information related to continued support and optimization for Workday Platform as well as regular updates on Workday Student.

Stay tuned for the official launch! Remember, Workday Help and Workday Learning contain the latest guides and support. 

Learning to Speak Workday: Understanding Academic Foundations

Each month, we'll share key terms to help you get familiar with the language of the Workday project.

Academic Foundations is a key project workstream focused on GVSU’s academic structure, including programs, courses, and student data. Led by Philip Batty, Associate Vice President of Institutional Analysis, this workstream includes subject matter experts from across the university.
