At the start of July, the Administration and Finance (A&F) team will grow as the division welcomes new colleagues from University Housing.
This restructuring is part of a larger university-wide plan to meet the state’s enrollment growth requirements and to better align services across campus.
With new student, staff and faculty accommodations coming online and an increase in the operating budget to fund new construction and capital projects, moving most Housing departments within A&F will help to streamline processes and make the teams more effective in fulfilling major operational roles for the university.
This change, while significant in its impact on campus efficiencies, is not planned to have a major effect on individual staff member roles. For housing staff, their reporting structures, as well as telecommuting and work locations will remain the same.
The biggest change will be for Juliette Duke. Duke, the executive director of University Housing, will report directly to Allison Baird-James, A&F’s senior vice president.
Duke will oversee the University Housing units joining A&F. Those units include:
– Administrative Services and Strategy: Outreach and Communication, Assignments, Assessment, and Special Events.
– Business and Finance: Procurement and Budget – Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Employee Experience: Payroll and Recruitment.
– Facilities Operations: Custodial, Planning and Support Services, and the Depot.
The Residential Student Experience Unit of University Housing will stay within Student Affairs.
Please join us in welcoming and helping accommodate our new A&F colleagues from Housing. Together, we will continue to move Cal Poly forward and work to enhance the student experience.
