    @Sara Watts I would love to see a session on using Integrated Contracts (the workflow from Enrollment Management to Billing Management), particularly on the role of the Admissions team vs the role of Billing Clerks - where does one team's tasks end and the other's begin? Who should "own" the Re-enrolment process? Is it the responsibility of the Admissions team to manage contracts for returning students, or should this be managed by the finance team while the Admissions team focuses on Candidates and Incoming Students?
