Scot Beekman, SUNY Broome’s Assistant Director of Administrative Information Systems, has received an Individual Collaboration Award from the SUNY Council of CIOs.

Scot has many achievements and was recognized for thinking SUNY­-wide as he implements projects. In the letters that the committee
received to support his nomination, the following contributions were highlighted:

  • He is the founder and co­-chair of  the SUNY AIRPO (Association of Institutional Research Planning Officers) SIRIS Advisory Group. In his role inside this group he has:
    ○ Been an instrumental part of SICAS’s SIRIS Exception Reporting Focus Group that worked to create exception reporting dashboards
    ○ Assisted with process improvement for campuses to receive timely data submission from SUNY
    ○ Created a sharing repository site and shared extensive documentation for SIRIS
  • He is largely responsible for a SICAS/Broome Starfish/Argos/Banner Collaboration that has led to SUNY Broome being a leader in implementation of the early notification system Starfish. Because of Scot’s success and collaboration, Broome acted as a SUNY Starfish
    Mentor Campus for Technical Integration to other SUNY schools implementing Starfish.
