Educational Toolbox Series Repository

These workshops are open to all individuals regardless of role or responsibility level. The primary goal of these sessions is to help people gain the knowledge to support them in their roles, and their goals for their career, and to offer global training and sharing of knowledge. Members of the campus senior leadership team will share their expertise around topics such as:

  • Budgeting – how does the campus budget model work and where does the funding come from
  • How to handle sensitive expenditures and avoid audit pitfalls: including meals, travel, awards, events and more
  • What you need to know when it comes to moves and remodeling – how can the Facilities and Institutional Planning Teams help you every step of the way
  • F&A from Grants and Contracts presented by the Office of Grants and Contracts, Finance and Budget including policies on distribution and how funds are used
