For their leadership and support for the appointment booking system within the Registrar’s Office, Steven Wegman, Michelle Senior and Tracey Knowles are Mohawk College’s newest Everyday Heroes. Implementing the appointment booking systems is a key part of the service model for the Registrar’s Office and was essential to navigating a return to in-person service in 2022. Appointments provides students the flexibility to meet with a staff member at a time that is convenient for them, and appointments can be in-person or over the phone. The implementation of this system involved considerable effort and coordination with different areas of the college, and has made a significant impact to service delivery for students.
