Community Engagement Group Meeting
Join us Wednesday, October 25th at 2:00 pm Eastern for our next Community Engagement Group meeting.
John Fudrow, Repository Librarian at the University of Pittsburgh Libraries will discuss communications and engagement related to ETD processing and approvals between the University Libraries and various administrators and staff stakeholders in a decentralized graduate school environment.
Topic: The ETD Process Group
The University of Pittsburgh approves ETDs in a decentralized workflow. This creates a wide array of issues and many opportunities for information to be lost or never shared with those that need it. Consequently, a group called the ETD Process Group was established around 2005 and has been evolving ever since. This group invites representatives from the Office of the Vice Provost, the Registrar’s Office, the University Library System, and a small number of staff from our 15 ETD approving schools. In 2018 the group began initiating project plans for future enhancements and organizational agility.
Anyone interested in signing up to participate in the group should complete this form. If you have questions please contact Emily Wuchner at wuchner2@illinois.edu.
