Staff members receive new duties as part of Administration and Finance reorganization

Three university staff members will assume additional responsibilities as part of reorganization within the Division of Administration and Finance. The changes are the result of last spring’s Program Prioritization process.

Susan Szpyrka, vice chancellor, Administration and Finance, announced changes for Tamara Moore, executive director, Auxiliary Services, Drew Martorella, executive director, Theatreworks, and Megan Bell, director, University Center and Conference Services. The changes are effective April 1.

“This is the second phase of a reorganization of the division that began last July,” Szpyrka said. “I am pleased that these three long-time staff members have agreed to take on additional responsibilities as the university continues to grow.”

Szpyrka pointed to the expansion of resident student housing, a wellness initiative to include mental and physical health with campus recreation, development of a campus-based food services, and the new Ent Center for the Arts as examples of expanding campus needs that require a new administrative structure.

In the earlier reorganization, Gary Reynolds and Gayanne Scott were promoted to assistant vice chancellor positions.

Bell’s duties include the Family Development Center, Residential Life and Housing, and serving as a liaison to academic units seeking to create living and learning communities within student housing.
