  <Title>DoIT Gritty Award Announcement</Title>
  <Tagline>Congratulations Eric Ludy</Tagline>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>We are proud to announce that </span><span>Eric Ludy</span><span> has been awarded the DoIT Gritty Award for his exceptional work in managing the complex Federal Student Aid system changes to UMBC's Peoplesoft Campus Solutions system over the past year.</span></p>
    <p><span>The Peoplesoft Campus Solutions system experiences a routine 3-4 upgrades per year, with simultaneous upgrades of the underlying Peopletools system and upgrades for the Highpoint user interfaces. In addition to this work, there were numerous unexpected code releases from the federal government to address issues with the overhaul of the Federal Student Aid system this past year.</span></p>
    <p><span>Eric navigated these obstacles with expertise and professionalism, ensuring that all upgrades were completed seamlessly and on schedule. He was able to coordinate the loading of multiple patches, proof of concepts, and PRPs onto separate databases for testing, before moving them to the production environment, all while still managing the regular upgrade schedule.</span></p>
    <p><span>The August PUM upgrade, which included moving the </span><a href="https://doit.umbc.edu/about/pmo/post/142415/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Peoplesoft CS system to AWS</span></a><span>, added an extra layer of complexity, but Eric handled it with the same efficiency and dedication. </span></p>
    <p><span>Through it all, Eric's work remained largely unknown to the broader university community, as he ensured that these critical system upgrades were completed without disruption to students and staff.</span></p>
    <h3><span>Congratulations Eric Ludy for being selected as this month’s DoIT Gritty Award winner!</span></h3>

          <div>Here at sisterhood, we are all about safety. Unfortunately when someone is a victim to an unfortunate event on campus, they might not know who to turn to. So, in partnering with the Office of Equity and Civil Rights, we want to send out resources to any victims that come forward to us. </div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>This is a safe space and we not only want to emphasize that but also support any victims that need it. We are here for you all and we hope that you trust us to be there to support you in this journey of life.</div>
