Hello All,
I’m excited to work with you all as we launch Yale Connect – Campus Groups this summer. Some of our school/unit Admins already have learned how different tools work, and some have questions. So sharing and learning from each other, agreeing on policy, and problem-solving will be useful to us all. *If you want to designate or add someone as the Lead CG Admin for your school/unit, please let me know
Upcoming YC-CG Admin Group Zoom Meetings – to be scheduled in June & July - TBD
Upcoming Orientation Tools Training with CG- https://www.campusgroups.com/events
- Check the CG User community events for webinars on Creating Virtual Orientation (June 16, 24, etc.) and Virtual Orientation Fair (June 18, 24 and so on) – you and/or one of your staff can attend.
- Several offices are thinking about using the CG “Event App” for their Orientation Tool/schedule, and a few are looking into Virtual Fair Tools. We will discuss/allocate app use as a group.
- Followup Yale Admins meeting on Orientation Apps and Tools – TBD in about 10 days, with Gina from Campus Groups, we hope – so save up your questions!

- News and questions will be posted here for the group.

Overall YC-CG Implementation – Amy & her IT team are making great progress on implementation tasks, including API, other integrations and data feeds. I am meeting regularly with Amy to go over implementation timelines and any issues that have come up.
- She is working on refining user account types (hard-coded 1 per person), and has added more specific user tags (Res. College, dept/degree program/major), etc.
- Yale Connect URL connection, Rebranding and App all could be done by early July.
Any other questions or issues – let us know – preferably using Campus Groups Admin Group News Tools or CG Chat function!
