When
the Human Resources Department switched the entire Human Resources Management
System (HRMS) to PeopleSoft in 2003, Kamyar Marashi,
February STAR, was put in charge of all security issues involving E-TRAC
(employee transaction systems) and HRMS-related modules. Marashi, an information
technology consultant for Human Resources and Safety & Risk Management,
was up to the monumental task.
The security issues were an important, complex part of the change to PeopleSoft
because of the sensitivity of the information involved. Marashi handled
the project adeptly and presented on his approach at two national professional
organization conferences.
"Kamyar performs his duties with a unique sense of humor, personality
and approach," said Henry McCoy, manager of faculty personnel and
human resources information systems. "He has established strong working
relationships with the many users across campus with whom he interacts."
Judy Philip, a coworker, said Marashi is the "social butterfly"
of the office.
Marashi confirmed that he enjoys the social aspect of his work.
"To be able to collaborate and work with such intelligent and talented
people is great," Marashi said. "The people I work with really
genuinely care about what they do."
While taking classes through the College of Extended Learning, a benefit
from his previous job at MusicBank.com, Marashi decided to pursue a career
in higher education. He was able to leave the dot-com world behind when
he landed the position in Human Resources in December 2000.
Marashi plans to complete a bachelor's degree in speech and communications
in 2007 and continue his studies at SFSU through a graduate program in
organizational and/or business communications.
He resides in Novato with his wife, Heather, and daughter, Lelia.
Please join us in congratulating Kamyar
and thank him for making such a difference.
As the
STAR of the Month, Marashi will enjoy four free lunches on campus, a free
parking pass or equivalent in one month's public transportation costs,
and more.
