Project Snapshot Report update
by Jennifer Silver
Good morning, all.
We met with the BIS team twice this month to discuss the role glitch with the project snapshot report. We were assured the report was suspended until the coding issue was resolved. A ticket is in with SIS.
However, the report ran on the 10th. I have notified Rene the report ran over the weekend.
The issue is the GCO role personnel are receiving the report separately instead of batched for the role. Please alert your faculty that a resolution is being pursued.
Thank you!

Coming changes to meeting schedules - SRA and College RA meetings
by Lori Schultz
Hi, all,
I will be adjusting the current schedule of SRA and College RA teams:
1. I’ll keep the biweekly SRA meeting but will change the date/time. The current time no longer works for my constantly changing schedule. Individual RAs should bring issues to their SRA team lead for discussion in this meeting. The SRAs will set the agenda for these meetings.
1. I will cancel the College RA team meeting and replace it with a monthly “all hands” meeting that includes OSP and the RAs. The agenda will be a summary of GoLive meetings through the month, updates from research (including integration news, if any), and items submitted by you.
The weekly GoLive meeting will continue in its current form. Agenda is set by OSP and the SRAs.
Please contact me if you have any questions. I am available by Teams and email, and email is probably best/fastest (it’s all relative).
Thanks,
Lori

The NCURA Region V Mustang Mentoring Program (MMP) is looking for next year’s mentors and mentees! If you would like to be a part of the 2025 cohort, please <https://xgs7nbtab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001awqZkpPBRm0fNJ6l8W4fr9edAvIxL6dY...> apply<https://xgs7nbtab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001awqZkpPBRm0fNJ6l8W4fr9edAvIxL6dY...> by Wednesday, November 27th. Applications must include a copy of your CV and a letter of institutional commitment. See below for more information about the MMP and visit the region website<https://xgs7nbtab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001awqZkpPBRm0fNJ6l8W4fr9edAvIxL6dY...> for even more details.
Program Overview
The Mustang Mentoring Program (MMP) is adapted from the NCURA Leadership Development Institute and is designed to develop the leadership skills of the MMP participant. The intention is to create a leadership pipeline of individuals to serve at the regional level while providing educational and professional development for the mentee. The overall approach to mentoring should result in increased volunteer involvement and participation from NCURA Region V members.
Program Details
The program pairs mentors and mentees based on areas of common interest and expertise. It involves a commitment of approximately one year, during which the mentor guides the mentee through a course of leadership development skills. The curriculum for the MMP will be based on the book The Leadership Challenge: How to Make Extraordinary Things Happen in Organizations by James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner, with a focus on the Research Administration profession.
