FCH Business Center Announcements

Faculty and staff may start entering Blanket TAs for next Fiscal Year. They will also need to complete the Segments and Expenses tabs before hitting submit.

Kimberly Schaaf joined FCH Business Center as an Accounting Associate on May 14, 2019. She is located in 205 Filley Hall. Kim will take on Nick's current responsibilities, including p-card, purchase orders, eShop orders, deposits, account payable, visiting personnel forms, and warrant requests. Kimberly was an Accounting Assistant in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and has had several years of experience in these areas. Nick will be training Kim for a couple weeks so please continue to email Nick if you need assistance until further notice. Please join us in welcoming Kimberly to our business center.

Nick Von Busch will take on management of payroll for all departments and financial management for ALEC. Going forward, faculty will need to replace Nick's name with Kimberly Schaaf's name when you assign your Eshop cart as she will be the one approving those orders.

Mindy Weis is responsible for HR issues relating to student hires, staff and faculty positions, setting up new employees, appointment changes/extension, etc. Mindy will be training Nick on some of those tasks but please start with Mindy if you need assistance with those issues.

Jeanne Bonnett is the contact person if you need help with travel and non-travel expense requests.

Holly Powell-Williams will handle all grant proposals until we have a new Financial Specialist. Holly is also the contact person for reimbursement requests from foundation. She also manages a number of BSE faculty accounts (including the accounts of Angie Pannier, Amy Schmidt, Forrest Kievit, Greg Bashford, Jenny Keshwani, Rick Koelsch, Becky Wachs, Santosh Pitla, Tom Franti, Yufeng Ge, Geng Bai, Nicole Iverson, Tiffany Messer, Deepak Keshwani and Yeyin Shi) and CGS accounts.

Ly Tran moved back to Filley Hall starting 05/13/2019. Please send Ly the questions or requests you normally directed to Lauren. She will be the contact person if you need help with your AgEcon or MEP accounts until the Financial Specialist position in Filley Hall has been filled.
