UCCS Humanity

Over the last few months, the student employee managers have been meeting to find a solution for the entire OIT department in scheduling student employees. Those who participated in the discussions and demos, decided on Humanity. Humanity consolidates the three online platforms and multiple other methods that student managers were using to schedule their students. For questions, please see Ryan.
