Together We Thrive

To improve efficiency and reduce the administrative burden caused by the current decentralized receiving model, Finance Planning and Budgeting proposes shifting to a centralized receiving system that leverages Creative Communications' (C2) expertise and infrastructure. View the Central Receiving proposal on our Together We Thrive website.

As part of our Together We Thrive initiative, we continue to explore opportunities to enhance efficiency and foster collaboration across our three campuses. These changes are aligned with our ongoing efforts to optimize resources and expertise to support the university's strategic goals.
