Patterson appointed chairman of ERP Student Stakeholders Committee

Roger Patterson, associate vice chancellor for finance, has been appointed chair of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Student Stakeholder Committee. He replaces Executive Associate Provost Steve Allred, who will leave the University at the end of June to become Provost at the University of Richmond.

As chair, Patterson will work closely with the ERP team and engage with the schools and other campus units to facilitate the implementation of the ERP.

“I’m pleased to have the opportunity to guide the collaborative efforts for such a critical system. It is my hope that I can continue to build on the project’s progress and Steve’s leadership. I’m looking forward to working with the project team and affected schools and units to solve any challenges that lie ahead,” Patterson said.

Student Stakeholder Committee members are:
• DeAhn Baucom, Director of Student Accounts and University Receivables
• Stephen Farmer, Assistant Provost and Director of Undergraduate Admissions
• Phillip Asbury, Deputy Director, Scholarships and Student Aid
• Bobbi Owen, Professor of Dramatic Art and Senior Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education
• Alice Poehls, Assistant Provost and University Registrar

The ERP project will provide the University with a powerful and fully integrated administrative infrastructure system that will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of business processes related to student services, human resources, payroll and finance.
