Don't forget to join Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer Lori Seager in the next Work of the College Series, Institutional Financial Planning, for an engaging discussion about the financial strategies that keep our college thriving. This session, happening tomorrow, Tuesday, Oct. 21 from 3-4 p.m. in South Hall Commons, will pull back the curtain on how we approach budgeting, resource allocation, and long-term financial planning in higher education.
Learn about the unique financial challenges facing liberal arts colleges today and how we balance competing priorities—from maintaining academic excellence and supporting student financial aid to investing in campus facilities and faculty development. Our CFO will share insights into revenue streams, endowment management, and how financial decisions directly impact the educational experience.
Whether you're faculty curious about budget processes, staff interested in institutional resources and reserves, or students wanting to understand how tuition and fees translate into campus resources, this session offers a valuable look at the financial foundations that support our academic mission.
Come with your questions about everything from capital projects to financial sustainability. This is your chance to better understand how smart financial planning helps ensure our college's continued success through institutional strength.
