DocuSign Demo and Urban Swirl, Tuesday May 7th

On May 1, Advancement Services launched Phase I of DocuSign as part of the gift agreement process.  Phase I involves using DocuSign to collect University signatures on gift agreements. We will give a quick demo to show you the benefits of DocuSign, think efficiency and expediency!  We will talk through the minor changes to the gift agreement process and the minimal impact to the regions.  Everyone is welcome to attend Swirl & Learn (with Urban Swirl) on Tuesday, May 7th at 12:30 in the ESC Family Room to see what DocuSign can do. Stop by to learn about it, ask questions, and grab a treat!  We can’t wait to see you!”
Thanks,
Salonee

Enroll in Okta today! Your enrollment is requested now to ensure immediate access to ND services when Okta goes live on Monday, July 29.

You can enroll by following the instructions at oit.nd.edu/okta  or if you would like assistance with enrollment, we are hosting the following Okta enrollment events in the Family Room:
