Role of the Division

Our departments perform the accounting functions, plan for building construction and remodeling, maintain healthy and safe research environments, provide security and protective services, clean and maintain the campus buildings and grounds, ensure fiscal integrity of campus financial operations, and provide legal advice and representation.   Every employee in Finance and Administrative Affairs is expected to be a professional who provides superb customer service.

Like most research institutions, UWM is a large complex organization that can sometimes be difficult to navigate.   Finance and Administrative Affairs strives to accomplish goals in an expeditious way, yet consistent with the myriad of policies and regulations that govern how state agencies operate.   We are proud that the Division is equipped with problem solvers who strive to use creativity and integrity to get things done.

Office of the Vice Chancellor

Christy L. Brown

"When we forget that our purpose is to serve our customers, then we will begin to fail."

 

These words from an unknown author serve as a reminder that we must be mission driven, but also customer focused. We in Finance and Administrative Affairs share a common vision, service excellence, and we commit to making every interaction with our division achieve this vision.

 

We are committed to providing an environment that empowers our staff, and our customers, to create innovative solutions for the complex problems that face each of us every day. Our goal is to forge a partnership with every employee in Finance and Administrative Affairs so that, as a team, we can provide the best working/learning environment possible for the university community.
