Calvin Honored by Datatel

March 22, 2006 == MEDIA ADVISORY

Datatel, Inc. has recognized Calvin College as one of two Datatel Partners in
Excellence award recipients for 2006.

Datatel, based in Fairfax, Va., presents the award each year to one two-year
institution and one four-year institution. Recipients receive a $4,000
unrestricted gift and a plaque.

The Datatel Partners in Excellence Award is presented annually to client
institutions that work closely with Datatel and demonstrate a strong commitment
to excellence in higher education.

Calvin has been a Datatel client since 1989 and has often participated as a
beta test site for various Datatel technology initiatives.

Datatel provides the college with two major software packages, Colleague and
Benefactor, that serve as the college's complete administrative information
system. Colleague is the major system and has everything from payroll to
transcripts to financial aid to admissions to paying bills to sending out
student statements. Benefactor serves the specialized needs of the Advancement
division (development and alumni functions).
