Sarah has agreed to serve as the Interim Vice President of Business. Sarah has been living in England since mid-2018, and she has been working with us as a consultant during that time. As many of you know, Sarah was married earlier this year. She will continue to reside in England with her husband. Sarah will participate in University Cabinet meetings thanks to technology, and she will be on-campus in the fall for the Trustee meetings.

Walter moved into this role earlier in the spring. Walter will report to Sarah, and he will lead the rest of the Business Affairs staff to include: Accounts Payable Specialist Janice Wightman and Staff Accountant Sarah Kay. Walter will oversee the financial aspects of our partnerships with the Judson Bookstore (Follett) and Fresh Ideas. Walter will also serve as a liaison with the Trustee Business Affairs Committee, working with Trustee Laura Gutting and Sarah Skorburg. Walter will also periodically join us for University Cabinet meetings.
