Letter from the Editor, Fall 2003

by Zach Luther

With Autumn Quarter now underway, it’s time for another issue of Directions! The weather’s a bit cooler, but lots of things are happening in Financial Management. The results of the Employee Satisfaction Survey have come in, with some interesting results. The RAA Retreat is a good example of QI at work, as well.

The RQT is running strong with articles about the return of the Person-to-Person Gathering, The Big Chill Summer Event, and the newly Redesigned Award Forms. Read further and find out more!

The Imaging Project is a big help for Financial Services, so read up on it right here. We also have the GRIP Update for you, as well as the ever-popular Kudos and Recognition Roundup.

Finally, we continue our FIN MAN 101 series with a look into Student Fiscal Services. They do a lot more than just collect tuition!

On behalf of the staff of Directions, have a great Autumn!
