Completed Projects
The purpose of this project was to store legal names with the inclusion of diacritical marks of students, faculty, and staff in Banner. This allows for official Lehigh documents to appropriately represent a person's legal name, as well as provide a better user experience for people accessing software/systems that store their name.
