Get to Know Georgia Kennedy
What is your favorite type of project?
My favorite type of project is one that makes people’s work easier and gets folks the data or functionality they need. The landscape of Higher Education is constantly changing and our systems need to be flexible enough to support the broad range of work we are asked to do. A successful project to me is one where the team feels like Slate is empowering them and not adding something burdensome or intimidating to their task list.
How did you first come to Slate?
In 2016, I joined the Undergraduate Admissions Office at the University of Vermont after managing the front end of an institutional student success portal overseen by the Office of the Registrar for over five years. The Admissions team was looking for a new CRM, and luckily, the best product won: we chose Slate. As the number of Slate instances on campus grew, so did my role. I eventually transitioned to central IT, where I supported cross-divisional work in three different databases.
When you're not Slating, what are you doing?
Trying to make a perfect pie crust, hanging out with my awesome children, or reading something fantastical from my to-be-read pile.
