The new Handson system will launch on January 27th, 2026 - just three weeks away! 

The upgraded Handson system will provide enhanced functionality and improved user experience for managing faculty appointments, financial commitments, and recruitment processes. Training sessions are available to help you prepare for this transition and learn the enhanced features of the updated system.
