All rights reserved Themes – Information Management Like their colleagues across the College, staff within Information Management appreciate the College’s mission, the work they do and the flexibility/autonomy they have. While some staff report concerns related to previous leadership there is generally high regard for those currently in supervisory roles. Concerns regarding the adequacy/fairness of the compensation system can be found across Colorado College but are particularly acute within Information Management, as are concerns regarding staffing levels, performance management and recognition. Those within Information Management express a keen interest in additional professional development/career advancement opportunities. Information Management staff also express a need for more effective communication within departments and across the College.
