Adding Advisors for Grad Students

This is a new work spec for adding the grad student’s advisor. The data is used in two places on the web site: 1) On the grad student’s profile page, and 2) on the advisor’s profile page, where there is a listing of the grad students they advise.

This data is sometimes provided when grad students are added each Fall. However, the students have up to a year to select an advisor. So, this data may have to be added at that time. The process is that Lori Altenbaugh receives a paper from the student that is signed by Maggie and Sam. She scans this into her system, and then emails the scan to the student. She is adding to her work spec to send the scan also to me via webtech@pitt.edu. This will generate a ticket, and when I receive, I’ll add that data to the student’s profile record in the PharmSchool DB.
