January 15th Workday Student Project Update
We hosted the first all-faculty and staff Workday Student Project Update on January 15, 2025. Individuals had the chance to learn about what has been designed and decided so far and get an early-stage glimpse of Workday Student. If you were unable to make it, you can view the PowerPoint presentation or the video recording. Watch for more information in the February 3 Workday newsletter.
Still wondering what Workday Student is? View the 'Intro to Workday Student' presentation, which was shared during recent roadshows across the university.

Learning to Speak Workday:System of Record
Each month, we'll share key terms to help you get familiar with the language of the Workday project. A System of Record is an authoritative data source for critical information. At GVSU, the current System of Record for student information is Banner. However, this will transition to Workday beginning in Fall 2026, bringing exciting enhancements to how we manage data.
