The Office of Administration and Finance exists to provide exceptional financial, planning and administrative services to SUNY Orange's faculty, staff, and students while supporting the College's mission and Strategic Plan.  With the current budget challenges, Priority 4 - Efficient and Effective Operations becomes even more critical.  As an institution, we must "adapt to changing economic realities while maintaining the infrastructure and resources necessary to foster innovation and develop and deliver high-quality programs and services."  With our current structural budget deficit, the ability to adapt to changing economic realities needs to be a backdrop to everything that we do campus-wide.  

As a result, the Division of Administration and Finance's top priority for the next academic year will be promoting efficient and effective operations by finding ways to more effectively use technology, cultivating continuous improvement throughout the organization, reorganizing departments, improving reporting capabilities, and disrupting "business as usual".

The staff in this Division are deeply committed to SUNY Orange, often working behind the scenes unnoticed, unfortunately, until something goes wrong.  I am grateful for each and every one of them and the work that they do for this College and its faculty,staff, and students.
