Sungard Higher Education—the supplier of IUP's Banner/URSA computing system—will be at the Crimson Events Center on Wednesday, October 28, 2009, to demonstrate product offerings not currently utilized by IUP. Members of the IUP community are welcome to attend, and feedback will be appreciated.
These demonstrations will be used to help the university determine if purchasing these products is in our interest. Four PASSHE universities have already decided to purchase these products, and two others are considering them. In addition, five additional PASSHE universities have committed to purchasing systems with these capabilities.
