Academic and Student-Related Projects
Academic Affairs Data Project Enterprise Solution / Student Learning Assessment Accreditation (SSLA)
The Academic Affairs Data Project at Oregon State University seeks enhanced assessment tools to support faculty in collecting student work and analyzing course data for program-level and Core Education assessment. The project aims to implement a semi-manual interim solution for the 2024-2025 academic year, ensuring compliance with NWCCU Standard One and maintaining eligibility for federal student financial aid.
General Education Implementation
The General Education Implementation project is focused on implementing the university's new general education curriculum to create a distinctive and high-quality foundation for OSU's degree offerings, align with the state's Core Transfer Map, improve its legibility for all students, support students' transition to OSU, add touch points for career-readiness, and expand instruction fostering understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Graduate School Slate Implementation
Grad School to Slate Implementation - The Graduate Admissions to Slate project will migrate graduate admissions applications and review processes from Salesforce to Slate. This strategic move aims to unify Slate's use throughout all admission levels (undergraduate, professional, and graduate) covering application processes, reviews, customer relationship management, and communications.
Minority Serving Institution Task Force
The Minority Serving Institution Task Force (MSI) project is a strategic initiative aimed at positioning OSU for MSI status. As our student demographics and the state of Oregon continue to evolve in terms of race and ethnicity, it is essential that we adapt to better serve our diverse student body and their communities.
Research Related Projects
The Enterprise Research Administration (eRA) System
The Enterprise Research Administration (eRA) System (Grants Pre-Award) project aims to implement an integrated eRA system for pre-award and compliance processes, enhancing OSU's research administration lifecycle. This modernization initiative will seamlessly integrate with Workday's post-award grants management module, ensuring comprehensive management of research activities.
Research Computing Initiative
The Research Computing Initiative focuses on supercomputing centered at the Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex (HCIC) and dispersed as a highspeed researching network. The initiative will make Oregon State University a global hub for research computing, Artificial Intelligence, and provide a centralized storage and computing system. The multi-year effort will drive global cutting edge research and discovery.
Administrative Modernization Program (AMP) Related Projects
AMP will update Oregon State University’s key administrative tools and processes to improve the institution’s ability to adapt and provide user-friendly design for everyone at OSU — bringing together the best of a “brick-and-pixel" university experience.
