Congratulations to LeeSonn Smith, Academic & Community Technology Experience, for your RecognizeIT nomination. Here is what the nominator had to say:
LeeSonn undertook the role of the IT consultant for the Inspired Leadership Initiative Program. During this collaborative effort, it became evident that the department sought to transition from Submittable to Embark as their preferred application collection software. Notably, their reluctance to renew the Submittable subscription for another year fueled a rapid pursuit of InfoSec and contract approvals for adopting Embark.
LeeSonn ensured a timely approval and subsequent implementation of the new software. Furthermore, the communication lines were kept open with the Partner area, with regular updates on the project's status and next steps to be completed. LeeSonn demonstrated the value of a collaborative effort between one of our partner areas and OIT.
