The team provides financial services, directs long-range planning and resource allocation, leads new and developing initiatives, plans for budgeting and funding, and delivers ongoing assessment and analysis of the effectiveness of selected strategies. Financial Shared Services provides fiscal services for the Provost and Executive Vice President, Vice Provost for Faculty, Vice Provost for Academic Initiatives, Vice Provost for Digital Initiatives and the College of Graduate Studies. The team also provides coordination of services across the units within Academic Affairs.
