About the Division of Finance
Finance’s overarching objective is to
enable and facilitate growth on multiple fronts (e.g. research,
graduate education, campaign) within the clearly defined
framework of the Rensselaer Plan. To achieve the ambitious
objectives of the Plan requires maximum optimization and
leveraging of Rensselaer’s financial assets during changing
economic times and the continued development of a centralized
control environment, where oversight and accountability are
clearly articulated and consistently applied via new and
revised policies and procedures.
The Rensselaer Plan has substantial implications for
financial resources. While expanding the resource base is
paramount, we must also prioritize use of and manage existing
resources to best strategic advantage.
The Finance Portfolio encompasses Financial Planning &
Services, Financial Operations and Reporting; including
payroll, disbursements and the Bursar’s Office; Research
Administration and Finance; Treasury and Investments; and
administrative oversight on an outsourced Internal Audit
function.
