Gary Pratt, Kansas State University’s Chief Information Officer (CIO), has been named to the HEUG (Higher Ed User Group) Board of Directors. HEUG is a global nonprofit organization whose mission is “to facilitate sharing ideas, information, and experience among its members.” Enterprise systems have been the focus of HEUG, a 20+-year-old organization with 32,000 members from 900 campuses and 37 countries.
HEUG hosts the Alliance Conference every year, which “is the premier place for higher education and public sector knowledge sharing, collaboration with peers, and finding the inspiration that comes from learning about creative solutions.”
According to Pratt, “The Higher Education User Group (HEUG) was formed around the need to improve and enhance the core PeopleSoft and Oracle applications, including K-State’s primary administrative systems (KSIS, HRIS, and FIS). Membership on the HEUG Board will allow K-State to help guide the evolution of these key systems into the future.”
