This page serves as a record of all the work that I have done for on-campus residence life operation. It is based primarily on my experience as a resident advisor in the University Center during 2004/2005, and also my tenure as a RA at DePaul Lincoln Park campus the year prior.

• Duty Sign Up System - A way to coordinate multiple staffs for signing up for duty.

A running, production implementation of the system is located at http://ucc.oaktop.com/ (available on request).

Software

• SharePoint Portal Prototype (available on request) - This is a prototype web site that I developed for automating many residence life operations in the University Center. The original live SharePoint site was taken down on May 10. This is a static copy of the site. Some of the functionalities does not work, since it is only a static copy, but the overall structure and content of the prototype is captured. If you would like to install the site onto a live SharePoint server, you can download the SharePoint template file (available on request).
• Duty Schedule Work Sheet - This is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, with an embedded Visual Basic macro, that takes a set of duty specification, and generates an actual schedule, suitable for use in the Duty Sign Up System. (To use the macro, make sure that you enable Macro in your Microsoft Excel installation).

Documents

The following documents were produced for the evaluation of deploying SharePoint within the University Center. Their contents and recommendations are based on the University Center 2004/2005 needs, although they should be generic enough to be applicable to later years or other residence hall.

• Portal Modules Listing - A list of modules, or discrete functionalities, that can be developed and deployed independently. In addition to module descriptions, this listing also includes design risk, deployment disk, and usefulness/utility.
• (Not Available) Support Proposal - A catalog of the need for supporting the deployment of SharePoint, and how to meet them.
• (Not Available) Hosting Requirements - The hardware, software, and service level requirements for deploying SharePoint.
• The 3D Phases of SharePoint Deployment (Visio Diagram) - A diagram that shows the deployment process.
• The 3D Phases of SharePoint Deployment (PowerPoint Presentation) - A presentation on the strategy in deploying SharePoint.
