University of Otago shared services division operations services head John Price has retired after 28 years at the university. In 2000, he was appointed the academic services director where he was involved inadmissions and enrolment, timetables, examinations and graduation. He also had involvement in the university’s academic committees, academic publications, and the human ethics committee. During this time, he was charged with initiating and leading schemes such as the student management system project (now known as eVision). It transformed the student management system from a largely paper-based one to a real-time web-based system.
