What Are My Major Responsibilities?
- Program's financial processes
- Administrative support to the Director/Program
- Coordinate cross-campus financial/business/and staff support for all Program faculty with their appointing
unit
- Monitor and plan budgets in conjunction with other units across campus and within the Program

How May I Assist You?
- If your question is financial, business, or administrative in
nature, I likely will be a good
resource for that; I may refer you to the Director or others as necessary.
- Curricular, advising, or instructional questions are better addressed by other staff or faculty.
- My preferred helping style is to get things done, referred, planned, or resolved.
- I make every effort to send you only to the place or
person
that will solve, resolve, or provide you with what you are looking for;
sometimes, I am the person to get you to the end of whatever process
you may be seeking to complete.
To address specific tasks, the
table below lists common items I often
help others with; the tasks are grouped by the role you may be in (e.g.
visitor, student, faculty, temporary employee including work/study
student, or program/building need).
If table viewing is not
your style, email or
stop by. My weekly schedule is posted on my office door; I'm also
viewable via the Oracle Calendar system. If you see an "Open
Hours" schedule outside my office door when you're in the building,
come on in... or if you prefer, set up a particular time with me via
email, phone, or Oracle calendar.
The table below adjusts to the size of your viewing screen. If you
don't like what it looks like, drag the bottom right corner of your
viewing screen to make it smaller or larger. The table content will
adjust as you do!
