BASIS 25th Year Project Anniversary Celebration
The BASIS — Business and Administrative Strategic Information Systems — team is hosting a 25th year Project Anniversary Celebration. This project was started in 1991 in order to develop new financial, procurement, and human resource systems. At that time the university was using a packaged system from Management Sciences of America, which was purchased in the early 1980s.
The BASIS team has been rummaging through their archives and have found many interesting tidbits to share, so please join them to celebrate and reminisce with current and former BASIS team members. The silver anniversary celebration will be held at the University House ofrom 2-4 p.m. Sept. 20. There will be refreshments as well as a short program that will begin at 2:30.
