NGSS Town Hall Meeting to Feature Screen Designs for Undergraduate Academic Catalog: April 27

The executive sponsors, project owners, and project managers for the Next Generation Student Systems (NGSS) project invite the entire Penn community to a town hall meeting on Pennant Records and Pennant Aid from 2-4 p.m. on Thursday, April 27, in room G-17 of Claudia Cohen Hall.

Project managers will present a concise overview of the multiyear effort, including an update on progress to date and the projected timeline for both Pennant Records and Pennant Aid. Their remarks will highlight the contributions of the many advisory groups and individuals crucial to the successful implementation of these new systems.

The team will also offer a look at screen designs for the first significant deliverable for Pennant Records, a new online Undergraduate Academic Catalog. In addition, the team will share results from extensive research conducted by the UK-based firm Torchbox on how users from a wide cross-section of Penn constituencies currently interact with the InTouch suite of applications. These results will inform the design of an improved user experience for the corresponding functions of Pennant Records. 

The remainder of the meeting time will be devoted to questions from the audience. Whether you are just learning about Pennant or want to know how it will affect you, please bring your questions so everyone can benefit from a wide-ranging discussion!
