41 FACULTY TESTIMONIAL “I have used the new UVA Travel System and am pleased by the format and structure of the new website. I am also pleased that travel resource staff continue to be available to help me train my staff, help me with specific travel related questions. Most importantly, I was pleased to receive travel alerts in a timely manner as I was at an international meeting in Manchester, England during the Paris crisis. The information was essential to me and provided me with access to resources if I needed them to try to get home several days later.” 2/1/2016 41
