You have travelers spread across the globe, and you don’t have a travel registry system that includes all your known travelers. Suddenly reality hits: you have a new responsibility - what the field calls “duty of care.”1 Now come the sleepless nights until your travelers return to campus. Late night phone calls or emails cause your heart to skip a beat. Every news bulletin starts a mental process of determining if you have travelers in an affected area. If only you had Terra Dotta’s new Express Travel Registry!
In June 2016, Brittany King started as an intern for Terra Dotta before joining the Marketing department full-time the following August. Her daily responsibilities entail managing the corporate and public conference sites; collaborating with the marketing team on monthly newsletters & articles, as well as marketing emails and other projects; and managing a variety of products (Pardot, Vidyard, Salesforce, AODocs, etc.) for Terra Dotta.
Before joining Terra Dotta, Brittany worked at her undergraduate university as part of the technical support crew for Lenoir-Rhyne Conferences and Events, which focuses on setting up and managing audio-visual technical needs for events on campus. Brittany graduated from Lenoir-Rhyne University with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre in May 2016.
Outside of work, Brittany enjoys reading, writing, video games, hiking, and participating on and off stage in the theatres around her community. One vacation spot she has always wanted to visit is Europe, specifically France, Germany, and Greece.
Brittany says her favorite part of working at Terra Dotta is that “I am always learning. And the people -- everyone is so, so nice and so willing to help out each other, even when they are busy.”

Automating this step allows your study abroad office to redirect human resources from time spent manually taking payments to accomplishing other tasks. In this session we will review the fundamentals of a payment gateway integration, methods used to take payments, and conduct a live demonstration showing the administrative and applicant perspectives when interacting with a payment gateway.
