academic and financial objectives.

University of Minnesota:

One Stop Student Services

Service Integration

• Organizational: Can we integrate organizationally to

reduce service silos? Are there going to be power

struggles?

• Physical: How can we improve how students receive

service in our offices? How can we make it more

student friendly? How much money will this cost?

• Virtual: What online self-services and web applications

do students want? Can we implement a virtual “one

stop” by consolidating information from various offices?
