Hints
To assist in determining exactly what segments to request from HR or from the Registrar's Office it helps to gather as much explicit information as possible about who the target audience is.
Examples:
°    People with jobs in the IT community who do Blackboard support.
°    Students who subscribe to ResNet.
°    Everyone who is a registered user of RedRover.
°    Faculty who need technology training.
°    Administrative people who manage department or college finances and need to understand CIT rates and fees.
