EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Romney Institute of Public Management was named
in 1998 after the three-term Michigan governor George W. Romney who, through
his life of service, exemplifies the virtues and attributes the institute has
embraced. The Romney Institute is under the Marriott School of Management at
BYU and prides itself in having “a long tradition of preparing (through the MPA
program) young people for careers in public service and is dedicated to
educating men and women of faith, character, and professional ability who will
become outstanding managers and leaders in public and nonprofit institutions
worldwide.”
As the MPA family grows and more students show
interest in the program, it becomes more difficult to follow up with individuals
who have shown interest in the program. Therefore, there is a need for
organizing the data regarding potential candidates in a way that allows the
institute to keep track of those who have been contacted by staff, those who
applied to the program, and those who are accepted. As a result I have been asked to
create a user form that will make storing information and contacting
individuals easier.
The user form contains two pages, one that allows
the user to see, modify, and save current contact information as well as make new entries, and another one
through which the user can compose and send emails to either one email address
or to several email addresses at once. After sending the emails and saving the
changes in the workbook, the program transfer the information to either the
updated, applied, or accepted sheet, depending on the changes that were made.
