A Familiar Face in a New Role

Garrett Dieckmann

Congratulations to Garrett Dieckmann ’12, who has been a positive, productive member of the Optimize team since the project launched in Fall 2011. As a Puget Sound student, Garrett spent his senior year working as a project assistant. After graduation, he became a full-time developer involved in the Financials implementation. Effective September 16, Garrett takes on an exciting new role as the university’s first PeopleSoft administrator. According to Steve Renker, director of Enterprise Information Systems, Garrett has impressed the Optimize and EIS teams with his “can-do attitude and talent for quickly picking up new technology.”

This week the Human Resources team signed off on their fit-gap documents, so let the design phase begin! The Financials team announced that Budget Administration trainings will occur the last Thursday of each month through November.
