Countdown to Workday Student Contest
About the Contest
As part of Hamilton College’s ongoing efforts to prepare the campus community for the launch of Workday’s Student Information System, we are introducing the Countdown to Workday Student Contest Series.
This year-long series of monthly contests is designed to build awareness, reinforce key information, and encourage engagement in a way that is approachable and manageable. Each activity connects directly to current Workday communications and resources, helping participants stay informed as the project moves forward.
The contest series will evolve over time to support readiness for both employees and students.
