Posted on behalf of Hayley Harris, Vice President for Human Resources and Planning
As I have communicated at previous SLT meetings and the All Staff Meeting, the Office of Human Resources is implementing an HR Business Partner model focused on building stronger campus relationships and providing consistent and enhanced customer service. The HR Business Partner (HRBP) will serve as the primary point of contact for all of your HR needs. They will focus on developing partnerships and delivering value-added service, guidance and consultation to their assigned constituents regarding human resources best practices, policy interpretation, problem resolution, and compliance with regulations and state and federal law.
Each division has been assigned a designated HR Business Partner (HRBP) to support the needs of the employees within that division. I have communicated with each of the members of SLT to introduce their HRBPs
- Michelle Hammond (Director of HR Operations) – President, Legal Affairs, Human Resources, and Provost (sans schools) – this includes Academic Advancement, Civic Engagement, Faculty Excellence, Corporate and Foundation Relations, International Programs and Extended Studies, Library, and Registrar
- Julie Tinkham (HR Business Partner) – Schools (Business, Communications, HSHP, H&S, Music)- NOTE: Julie is currently filling a key vacancy in the Benefits Office- until that vacancy can be filled, Michelle Hammond and Kirra Franzese will be the contacts for the Schools
- Jenn Brown (HR Business Partner) - Finance and Administration
- Stephanie Gabriele (HR Business Partner) – Student Affairs
- Katie Sack (HR Business Partner) – Marketing and Enrollment Strategy, Philanthropy and Engagement, and IT
The Office of Human Resources is committed to enhancing the way we work to best serve our campus community and is excited to announce this new organizational change. We look forward to our continued work together and strengthening the partnerships between Human Resources and the employees within your division and across the college.
Sincerely,
Hayley Harris
Vice President for Human Resources and Planning
