Title: Campus Community Advisory Group - Focus and Resources
Author: Kristin Krowiorz, Fox Valley Technical College
Article: This article aims to introduce the Campus Community Advisory Group, related resources, and ways to stay engaged.
Who We Are
The Campus Community Advisory Group (CC AG) is comprised of active members with a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. You can learn more about the current members here.
What does the CC AG cover?
We love the 3Cs dearly. However, our mission goes beyond those tried and true favorites. We also advocate and support system functionalities known as common or shared product features. Just a few examples of our group’s interests include Activity Guides, Notification Framework, Duplicate Resolution, and the Common Attribute Framework. The shared nature of these features provides exciting opportunities to collaborate with other Advisory Groups.
More formally, the mission of the CC AG is to represent the interests of higher education institutions worldwide that use the PeopleSoft Campus Community module, relevant functionalities, tools and frameworks alone or in conjunction with other software and services with a special emphasis on education and advocacy for the community. These efforts also include an “eye to the future” with regard to the current use and continued development of the relevant functionality in the Oracle Student Cloud. By the way, for HEUG members interested in all things PeopleSoft Campus Community, the Student Cloud term to be on the lookout for regarding "like" concepts and constructs is a set of functionality, frameworks, etc. that Oracle calls Shared Products.
Resources & Education
We seek to advocate for what you need and help provide education and resources for what is important to you. For example, we all know that time and resources are limited. These limitations sometimes prevent our institutions from adopting new features as they are released. One of our main goals for the year ahead is to continue to help you explore new and underused features. Additionally, with the Oracle Student Cloud product available, and continued development in full swing, we are collaborating with Oracle in a focus group structure that leverages the Advisory Group and other HEUG community members. We also remain focused on topics related to data privacy and governance.
