Datatel Users Coffee Klatch

What is the DUCK?

The DUCK (Datatel Users Coffee Klatch) is a short weekly session designed as an informal way for Datatel Users on Whitman’s campus to learn new tricks and tools in using the College’s new integrated, administrative software (Colleague version 17). The DUCK is structured as a short, informal way for the WCTS-AIS staff to present ideas that they believe will benefit day to day users of Datatel and in turn give a chance to have questions posed and solutions discussed.

When is the DUCK?

The DUCK is held every Wednesday Morning at 9:00 am, we promise that each session is limited to a half hour so that as many Datatel Users as possible can participate.

Where is the DUCK?

The DUCK sessions are held in Olin hall in room 180.

Who is invited to the DUCK?

The DUCK is opened for each and every Datatel User at Whitman College, it is not intended to be just for Colleague Gurus or Datatel Doctorates. Instead all are welcome to come, have some coffee and goodies, learn a little and ask a lot of questions.
