Office of Administration & Personnel

The Office of Administration and Personnel provides a broad range of administrative, fiscal, and management support to the dean and faculty of the Graduate School of Education. This support includes:

• monitoring all incoming and outgoing financial transactions related to accounts and research grant accounts, including maintaining a central computer database for accounts, preparing periodic budget statements and reports, and reconciling all accounts;
• compiling and analyzing data for inclusion in GSE reports;
• supervising federally funded college work-study students and type IV employees;
• preparing payroll appointment forms for all faculty, staff, and part-time lecturers;
• fulfilling point-of-contact duties regarding various university benefits for all faculty and staff as department benefits representatives;
• overseeing the operation and maintenance of dean’s office equipment; and
• preparing budgets with and for research grant faculty.

Please note that we are responsible for the GSE’s business and financial matters; the office is not responsible for student financial matters. If you are a student and need assistance with a financial matter, contact the Office of Student and Academic Services for further information.
