Need to book travel? Purchase lab supplies? Hire a student? … The College of Arts & Sciences Support Team is here to provide support to faculty and staff and help maintain a supportive teaching and learning environment.
Our college staff are organized by expertise in purchasing, academic procedures, grant management, and more. The pages for the Academics Unit and Finance Unit break down which staff support which departments:
- Academics Unit (course evaluations, course schedule entry and updates, graduate program support, syllabi collection, swipe access to college buildings, and more) See who supports your department.
- Compliance Unit
- Building Liaisons (key distribution, facilities issues, copier maintenance, mail delivery and packages, office supplies)
- Finance Unit (budget and monitor accounts, process ICD contracts, honorariums and blanket purchase orders, etc.) See who supports your department.
- Procurement Unit (purchasing, Concur report assistance, travel, etc.)
Not sure whom to contact? Email the A&S team at cas-central@ohio.edu, and they’ll get your question to the right person.
“As we return to campus this fall, you will see some of the college support team members from these units in our academic buildings. But it’s important to note that these ‘Building Liaisons‘ are all members of our centralized units—academics, finance, procurement, accounting, and even student affairs—so their plates are very full,” said Dr. Florenz Plassmann, dean of the College of Arts & Sciences.
“Depending on what you need help with, you might be consulting one of the teams above, but we also want you to know exactly what those staff located near you are doing in your building,” he added.
