“Seeing these three institutions come together with such commitment and focus has shown the value of having a common goal,” said Robert Steele, Vice President for Higher Education at Workday. “This successful project not only sets the stage for a cooperative Workday Student deployment, but it helps lay the foundation for other schools within theSٱ.”
