Interim Leadership Team Named to Lead Auxiliary Services

An interim team of leaders has been named to lead the Auxiliary Services division.

Tara Venditti, director of budget and finance for Auxiliary Services, will assume the role of interim director of finance for the division. Prior to joining Syracuse University in August 2022, Venditti worked for 10 years as Onondaga County’s deputy director of budget administration. Venditti brings over 19 years of experience in fiscal matters focusing on organizational management, finance, budget administration, debt and capital project management, financial oversight and analysis.

Roger Hailstork, director of the Campus Store, will assume the role of interim director of operations for the division. Hailstork has been with the University for eight years. During this time, he led the Campus Store through restructuring, multiple capital improvement projects and remodels, and the replacement of a 20-year-old enterprise system.

The division is also fortunate to have Denise Dyce, associate vice president for labor and employee relations, as part of the interim management team to provide guidance on human resources and labor relations issues.
