Workday Student Leader Network
What will leaders do for Workday Student (WDS)?
Key Responsibilities Include:
Provide leadership before, during, and after each go-live phase:
Leaders will help prepare their teams, address concerns, and ensure continuity of operations throughout all stages of the rollout.
Participate in a meeting series:
These sessions will offer updates, strategic guidance, and opportunities to share best practices, keeping all leaders informed and aligned.
Collaborate with other GVSU Leaders and with the Workday Student Liaisons:
Cross-functional collaboration will help strengthen communication, promote shared ownership, and build a supportive leadership culture across campus.
The Student Leader Network will include key academic and administrative leaders. These individuals will contribute their leadership and expertise to support student engagement, success, and community development across the institution.
