BFAS Launches Academic Leaders Training Program

Monday, April 1, 2019, By News Staff

Academic leaders require knowledge of the financial and administrative framework of the University to make effective decisions and to fulfill their duties in an accurate, effective and financially responsible manner.

The Academic Leaders Training program, developed by the Division of Business, Finance and Administrative Services (BFAS), delivers financial training for current and future academic leaders. The training will ensure a strong understanding of the University’s budget model and financial policies, BFAS processes and procedures, and the potential financial implications from academic decisions to assist in fostering financial success in schools and colleges and academic support units.

Sessions include discussions and presentations from leaders across BFAS units.

The program is composed of two consecutive morning sessions, and attendance at both sessions is strongly recommended.

The inaugural Academic Leaders Training will take place on:

  • Tuesday, April 23, from 9 a.m. to noon
  • Wednesday, April 24, from 9 a.m. to noon

Both sessions will be held in Dineen Hall, Room 020.
