NMC group seeks to maximize use of new software

Posted on Aug 07 2008
To enhance the services provided to Northern Marianas College students, NMC president Carmen Fernandez recently formed a working group—the Power Users Group—to maximize the benefits that recently-upgraded, comprehensive student information software can provide.
The PowerCAMPUS Unified Digital Campus program will streamline the registration process by allowing students to register for classes more quickly and easily. The software will also accelerate the billing portion of registration, the preparation of lengthy financial reports and the turnaround time for the processing of transcripts.
Equally important, the software will better enable the College to track and report student achievement data that are required for accreditation purposes. Reports that had to be produced manually before now only take the push of a button.
“The Power Users Group is composed of dynamic individuals who are passionate about simplifying tasks that used to be too time consuming and cumbersome,” said Fernandez. “I have no doubt the NMC community will soon realize the practical benefits of their work through shorter registration lines, a more efficient admission process and a quicker turnaround time on routine requests.”
Fernandez named staff and faculty members to the Power Users Group Aug. 3, 2008. The Power Users Group consists of key individuals who regularly use the software to tap into the College’s database. Members also went through a two-week training session that was facilitated by the software’s vendor.
Heading the group is Joyce Taro of Academic Programs and Services, and serving as vice-chair is Leo Pangelinan from Counseling Programs and Services. Other members include Rose Cepeda (Admissions), James Santos and Eric Abragan (Information Technology), Solita Barnes (Finance), Janice Tenorio (Student Support Services), Loly Kingzio (Fine Arts Department), Cynthia Deleon Guerrero (School of Education), Colleen Villagomez (Financial Aid), Lisa Hasckaylo (Institutional Effectiveness), Bobbie Hunter (Human Resources), David Apatang (Community Programs & Services) and Wil Maui (Business Department).
