Name Pronunciation Guide

schmittaf 12 years ago • updated by Margaret Fako 11 years ago • 2
Since we have so many International students (some with very difficult names to pronounce) is there a way to program in Aspen a place for a phonetic spelling of a student's name? They or their parents could write out their name phonetically when they register (that could be on their registration card when then check in). I think it would be less frustrating for our students if we could pronounce their names correctly and it would look better for us, not to be stumbling over student names in front of students or their parents. We could list it on the main student page on Aspen after the Nickname field.

Note: Many domestic names are also difficult to pronounce. Should do this for all students.

It would be ideal to have this in Salesforce as well, for admissions, advancement, business office, box office, etc.

Narrative Comment Function on Aspen

schmittaf 12 years ago • updated 11 years ago • 0
Training needed on how to create individualized systems for tracking student progress via narrative comments.

The majority of our assessment of students takes the form of narrative comments vs. letter grades or numerical grades.

Variations may include:

Weekly/bi-weekly updates on student/class progress.
Narrative comments on specific assignments in place of letter grades.
A combination of both of the above.
A combination of narrative comments for some assignments and letter/numerical grades for others.

Track/record guest artists (Camp, Academy & LALI) in SalesForce

Anonymous 12 years ago • updated by schmittaf 12 years ago • 0

1) We'd like to get guest artists who are not yet in SalesForce recorded in the system.

2) We'd like to be able to track when guest artists were on campus.


This will help tell us how individuals became connected to Interlochen and how the relationship developed/deepened over time. (Additionally, it will help me in reporting. I am constantly pulling lists of guest artists for funder reports.)


This came up recently when a prospect of Erin's mentioned that she had done a lecture for LALI, but it was recorded nowhere.


We have batted around a few ideas: Creating a "Guest Artist" Primary Classification; recording guest artist contract periods in the Activity History; recording guest artist contract periods in employment, etc.

Per meeting with Kathleen, Susan, and Kristina, moving the process into Salesforce is not necessary at this time. See gdoc: Management of Guest Artists

An ongoing process to decide between ENO vs. SmartBoards vs. Promethean vs. AppleTV. A "widescreen iPad" was mentioned as an ideal.

Examine camp processes to see which can be made paperless

schmittaf 12 years ago • updated by Margaret Fako 11 years ago • 2
Are we going to continue with Camp being a paper-driven solution rather than a technology driven one? Specifically progress reports, etc.
Have to decide if this is something that is just scanned into Aspen, entered into Aspen, etc.
