Adam Wlad is an information systems specialist for Information Systems & Technology’s Enterprise Resource Planning group. Through the SIEF, Adam is travelling to the United Kingdom to further his knowledge of software solutions and learn how several universities manage web-based tools to amplify information systems and application software.
Adam supports Quest, the University core student information system. He plans to visit the University of Glasgow, University of Strathclyde, and University of Derby to learn about how they amplify information systems and application software related to themes within the Higher Education User Group.
“This is a great opportunity to meet people who work in similar roles to me,” says Adam. “I look forward to learning from new colleagues and also representing Waterloo and sharing our own ideas.”
As a theatre fanatic, Adam will also take in a few plays staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company while in Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare. He also hopes to visit several Scottish castles, art galleries, and museums, and to travel to the Scottish Highlands.
