The inaugural meeting, which took place on Monday, May 20, allowed division/department/deans secretaries and other future “power users” the chance to gain hands-on experience in handling the new LancerPoint system. The three one-hour meetings were each led by Ellucian Technician Antonio Trepesowsky, who guided attendees through tasks the staff members will soon be facing on a regular basis.
