candidate could get a feel for how the
campus felt about parking — a dual
exchange of ideas and issues was able to
take place.”
Search committee members met with
the candidates at the end of their stay to
take care of final questions.
After reviewing all the feedback forms
from parties interested in voicing their
opinion on the potential directors, the
search committee submitted its recom
mendation to Vice President for
Administration Chuck Sippial. Sippial and
other administrators then made their final
decision, selecting Weis.
Reasons for selection of the current
director of Georgia Tech’s Parking and
Transportation Services include his imple
mentation of a customer online service.
This service gives customers 24 hour
access to their infonnation, allowing them
to buy parking permits, view possible cita
tions, file appeals and take care of pay
ments, among other services.
Weis said changes to A&M’s current
system will have to be implemented over a
large time span, though he hopes the
online citation payment and an e-mail
notification system may begin sometime
this fall.
Looking back at previous statements
from Sippial and Bisor, incoming Weis
also looks to be a strong match to their
ideal individual with a customer-service
emphasis and priority.
In a previous interview, Sippial said, “I
will be looking for strong management
and leadership skills as well as a strong
background in customer service... I want
to maximize customer service and in the
process, make getting customers to their
destination our number one priority.”
Weis described himself as very cus
tomer-driven, an attitude which often put
students at ease as they walked into
Georgia Tech’s Parking Office.
He hopes to improve and maintain a
quality relationship between students and
PTTS by keeping communication lines
open. His high level of involvement shows
not only in the quantity of articles he was
quoted in The Technique, Georgia Tech’s
campus newspaper, but in his dedication
towards keeping students informed.
“I love working with students, reaching
out to them ... if I haven’t been invited to
student government meetings, I will try to
go there and try to meet student leader
ship. There’s no way to solve a problem
unless you talk about it and everyone
understands.
“Someone asked how I felt about com
ing over to A&M and -in one word -
excited,” said Weis.
