Get to Know Peter Emerick
What is your favorite type of Slate project?
I absolutely love building eye-popping student status portals that standard Slate users can easily update and interact with. I also enjoy creating internal admin dashboards to visualize data for campus partners. Outside of portals and dashboards, there’s nothing I enjoy more than a good law school implementation or a financial aid visualization buildout.
How did you first come to Slate?
After a short career in student affairs within higher education, I transitioned into enrollment operations and became the Associate Director of Operations at Millersville University in Pennsylvania. When asked, “We purchased this system called Slate; do you want to manage it?” I said yes, and I’ve been working with Slate ever since. I’ve led full-scale implementations, built award-winning portals, presented at the Slate Summit four times, and done everything in between. Slate is more than a career to me; it’s a passion.
When you're not Slating, what are you doing?
Playing basketball, working out, chauffeuring my 3 boys to sports and events or hanging out with my beautiful wife. If those things aren’t happening and I’m not Slating, then I’m watching LeBron James highlights while listening to Taylor Swift, because they are the two G.O.A.T.s of their respective worlds and I won’t accept any other opinion.
