SSEI town hall presentations (March 2021): Introducing SEAM, organizational structures and job postings

SSEI Town Hall webinar on March 12, 2021. You may view the recording of the town hall which took place on March 17 here. The same content was presented at both town halls. 

The team revealed the official name of the new shared student services organization, which is SEAM (Office of Student Enrollment and Account Management). We provided updates on organizational charts for the different functional areas that comprise SEAM, and what to look for in the coming months. Follow-up sessions focusing on each of the functional areas will be posted here as they are scheduled. We also provided information about where to find job postings and mentioned plans to provide additional professional development opportunities for those interested in joining SEAM.

We also fielded questions and answers; feel free to submit your questions and check back for updates on answers here: https://provost.jhu.edu/about/ssei/faq/
