Dawn Zachow got a shoutout from Lynn Griesemer! Mar 18, 2021
I had a major issue with a student's EWP scores. They were not documented correctly in parts of Banner, which was causing her "writes with distinction" to not show up on her transcript. Dawn was able to figure out what was happening and referred this issue to John Janosik. Between the two of them, the issue was resolved and the student is very happy! Thank you for your help, Dawn!
John Janosik got a shoutout from Lynn Griesemer! Mar 18, 2021
A student's EWP scores were not showing up correctly in Banner and, therefore, were incorrect on her transcript. She qualified for "writes with distinction" and was really wanting that to be documented. John was extremely helpful and the issue was taken care of. The student was very appreciative and acknowledged the work that John had done. Thank you so much!!
