Project Groups

The R3 Project is happening because of the people behind it.

Who do I talk to when I have a question?

If you have a question, inquiry or feedback about the process, we’re sure you want to know who you should talk to about it. Let’s breakdown who you’d connect with, depending on the topic:

Implementation Committee Members

The Implementation Committee members will also answer questions about decisions and operations.

Here are sample questions Implementation Committee members receive:

  • When will we be reviewing the Admission process?
  • I’ve heard that we are improving business processes. How does this work?
  • What types of decisions have been made?

Change Champions

Change Champions can answer questions connected to the R3 Project and the new Student Information System. Here are sample questions Change Champions receive:

  • I’m new to the College: where would I find general information about the R3 Project?
  • I heard that the new SIS is a menu-driven interface… can you tell me what it is like?
  • I didn’t understand the recent communication on what R3 means. Can you clarify for me?
