Fun Friday 8/24 – Cancelled

Apologies to folks planning to come to Fun Friday open office hours on Friday 8/24, but this week’s Fun Friday has been cancelled due to illnesses, vacation, and training being held in its home classroom.

For those not aware, Fun Friday is a standing open session scheduled between 3pm and 4pm, but often starting earlier and ending later where the classroom in Murray Hall (117) is open for administration and faculty to work from one of the computers. Enterprise Services staff are present to answer questions, brainstorm, work on problems and share news and information. There are no strict rules regarding topics or decisions on whether to attend. A typical Fun Friday might consist of folks that are:

  • Requesting a report and learning how to pull information from it
  • Working out a process flow with members of other departments
  • Understanding integration between two systems
  • Learning how to use Google Sheets
  • Discussing the best streaming video recommendations on Netflix
  • Members of Enterprise Services collaborating on programming work

In the past we have conducted more formal trainings on occasional Fun Fridays, known as First Fun Fridays.  That initiative is currently on hiatus as we review possible future training opportunities.  However, we continue to keep the over two year tradition of Fun Friday alive!
