Electronic Workflows to Radically Support Graduate Education

In this break-out session, we will describe how we successfully converted PDF forms to student-initiated electronic workflows for academic requests across all graduate programs. We will not only focus on highlighting the radical collaboration among many teams that made this significant change possible, but also describe the challenges and opportunities we discovered along the way to automation. We will end the session with plenty of time for discussion.
