Colleagues, 

We are pleased to share important updates regarding leadership in Finance and Administration

Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration Search Advisory Committee 

To guide the search for our next vice chancellor, the chancellor has convened an advisory committee. The committee will work closely with our search partners at Isaacson, Miller to identify and recommend outstanding candidates. We thank them in advance for their service and thoughtful guidance during this important process. 

Advisory Committee Members: 

  • Alan Boyette, Provost (chair)  
  • Joy Bhadury, Dean, Bryan School of Business and Economics  
  • Beth Fischer, Vice Chancellor for Advancement  
  • Donna Heath, Vice Chancellor for Information Technology Services  
  • Susan Letvak, Professor of Nursing; Past Chair, Faculty Senate Budget Committee 
  • Sherine Obare, Vice Chancellor for Research and Engagement  
  • Zach Smith, Associate Vice Chancellor for Campus Enterprises and Risk Management  
  • Waiyi Tse, Chief of Staff   

Interim Leadership 

Effective Jan. 1, 2026, and until we have a new vice chancellor for finance and administration, leadership of the division will be shared by Scott Milman, associate vice chancellor for finance; and Zach Smith, associate vice chancellor for campus enterprises and risk management. 

We are confident that they will provide steady leadership as we transition to our next permanent vice chancellor. 

Please join us in thanking the advisory committee members for their service and in supporting Scott and Zach in their interim leadership roles.
