Dear colleagues
On 11 September I wrote to call for nominations to the Chair of the ANZ
HEUG, following advice from Gail White that she was stepping down from the
role after five years. I received one nomination by the closing date of
Friday 8 October 2015.
I am therefore delighted to declare *Mark Erickson* elected for the
remainder of the current term from 4 November 2015 to 31 October 2016.
Mark is Registrar at the Australian National University and is well known
as an active member of the ANZ HEUG. I include below the statement that he
provided with his nomination.
I have been an active supporter of, and contributor to, the ANZ HEUG
Community for over 15 years and I believe I am well placed to take on the
role of ANZ HEUG Chair. In my time as a HEUG Community member I have been
a regular attendee and presenter at HEUG conferences and Executive forums.
I was a member of the global Admissions PAG from 2006-2009 and founding
co-chair of the ANZ Student PAG from 2007 to 2009. I have been a strong
advocate for the inclusion of ANZ led enhancements to Campus Solutions
working with Oracle on initiatives such as admissions web services,
graduations management and research candidature management. I have also
actively supported our collaboration as a user community by sharing the
work of our institution and hosting intensive workshops to find solutions
to common problems such as the implementation of the Student Services and
Amenities Fee.
I genuinely believe that the advocacy and constructive support the ANZ HEUG
provides makes a difference in our relationship with Oracle and the global
HEUG. As Chair of the ANZ HEUG I would continue the great work of my
predecessors:
- Ensuring ANZ has a strong voice in Oracle and the global HEUG influencing
the direction of the applications so critical to the effective functioning
of our institutions;
- Supporting the incredibly important role our colleagues play contributing
to PAGs and other forums, and representing our interests across all the
Oracle product lines; and
- Broadening our collaboration which benefits all our institutions through
the sharing our challenges and the efforts needed to meet them.
