David Ward, Systems Development Specialist, Administrative Information Services (AIS), has resigned from his position with iCIT to take a position with UW-Madison Division of Information Technology (DoIT). In his new job, David will work in the Shared Financial Services area of DoIT.
Since joining iCIT in 1995, David has been a key contributor to many of the AIS team successes, particularly in the Financial Aid area. He implemented several key processes that have allowed Financial Aid (FA) office to reduce or eliminate their manual processes. A further testimonial to his hard work was evident from the numerous requests we received from UW-System campuses and other universities to share the systems he had developed.
As a highlight of his career at UW-Whitewater, David designed, developed and implemented a custom Scholarship application which automated manual submission of scholarship applications for the entire campus. The automation has saved the university hundreds of hours of manual work that would have been used to process these applications. Since we implemented this project at the end of March, the system has processed approximately 500 applications and the number is ever growing.
David’s last day in iCIT was Friday, June 8th. We thank David for his many years of dedicated service to UW-Whitewater iCIT and AIS, and we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
