The Student Sunrise project, through the Office of the Provost, has established three student advisory groups to support the project from now through spring 2026. We are utilizing separate but related strategies to best engage students on the Danforth and Medical campuses. These university-wide advisory groups are key to the success of the Student Sunrise project and advise the project on how to best engage and communicate with the undergraduate and graduate student communities.
We also are engaging students through a project internship program. Student interns contribute to project work in communications, training development and project management and serve as an additional sounding board for proposed changes and impacts to students.
Danforth Campus advisory groups
- Advise on how to best engage their peers and the larger student community
- Advise on strategies and channels to communicate with students
- Assess the changes that Workday Student will have on the student experience
- Participate in and promote readiness and testing activities
Medical Campus advisory group
- Establish open communication with students by sharing where we are in the project
- Transparently share how WUSM leadership, staff and faculty are partnering with the project on system design
- Introduce for awareness Workday Student functionality that students on the Medical Campus may use (with a focus on awareness).
- Request feedback on training and other resource materials
- Provide an opportunity to participate in optional readiness and testing activities
While some students will graduate before Workday Student goes live in spring 2025, we hope that the insight current student students can provide will enhance the effectiveness of future engagements with students on the Danforth and Medical Campuses.
