Hello and welcome to all the new members! I want to keep the momentum from TLCC2021 going and re-energize this group. I'd really love to get a virtual meet-up going in the next couple of weeks. No set topic just more of a meet and greet with each other and discuss topics for future quarterly gatherings. I'd also like to ask for volunteers and get a planning group together.
Please spread the word to other university Tessitura organizations and your colleagues about our group. All the information about meet-ups will be posted in this forum, so please ask them to join the group and enable alerts.
I'd also like to get an idea of what times and days of the week are good for a virtual meet-up. I love Wednesdays at 4:00 pm EST. It's mid-week so I've gotten the big stuff out of the way but haven't started to burn out yet. Throw some more suggestions at me!
Thanks for the follow-up! I would love to go to a virtual meet-up. Wednesdays and Thursdays also work well for me but 3/3:30p EST is preferred because I often have to leave around 4/4:30p for school pick up.
Hi everyone! Jessie, thanks for your work in re-energizing the university group. I would possibly be interested in volunteering to help with planning, but I won't know for sure for a few weeks. I'm generally free anytime Wednesday afternoon, so that should work on my end.
Hi Jessie,
Thanks for organizing. I was so happy to find this meetup! True confessions, I almost cried. I work within a consortium of non-profits. Universities have very unique situations and requirements that don't necessarily make a lateral move.
I to would prefer a 3/3:30 meeting. Similar reason to Staci. Mondays-Wednesday are fine. Thursdays would probably be OK too but that's when the performance schedule tends to ramp up on a weekly basis.
You're the best Jessie! I'm pretty flexible right now, so Wednesday afternoons sound great to me! Looking forward to keeping our discussions going!
Hi Everyone
Super excited to be a part of this group! A little about me, I am the Asst Director of Marketing at the Mondavi Center at University of California, Davis.
I started a little over a year ago just as the pandemic was hitting so have only been working remotely my whole time. My background is in higher education student engagement, spending the last 15 years of my career at various colleges and universities leading student activities, marketing, and engagement efforts.
This is my first time back in the Performing Arts world post undergrad and i'm looking to connect with more colleagues across the country to network and learn about your successes and challenges.
I am on the west coast so 3pm actually works fine for me.... it's lunch time here so i'm usually free to meet.
Thanks for organizing this and look forward to connecting!

I'm going to let this simmer for a little while longer but it sounds like Wednesday at 3:00 PM EST (quarterly) is a good time all around.
Wednesday at 3:30 work great! Can't wait!
12pst/3est works great.... 330 would be hard for us West Coasters as meetings tend to start at 1pm. Thanks again for setting this up
