Business and budget offices reorganize into “Finance Department”

Over the last several months, the Budget Office and the Business Office have been working together to combine their efforts into one department. Now that the reorganization is complete, it was apparent a new name for the department was needed. Therefore, the Finance Department was created. During the reorganization process, we focused on creating teams. These teams are listed below along with some of their respective responsibilities.

 Budget and Fiscal Team, led by Rachel Patarozzi

Includes: Budget, Purchasing, Grants and Inventory

Disbursements Team, led by Cheryl Sneed

Includes: Payroll and Accounts Payable

 Student Accounts Team, led by Robin Ackman

Includes: Payment Plans, Refunds, Collections and Student Issues

Campus Services Team, led by Andrew Blaylock

Includes: Bookstore, Receiving, Duplicating and Food Services

Thank you from Dr. Judy Jozaitis

I share this story (link below) because it was such a sharp contrast to the wonderful support I received from my Lincoln Land Community College family following the recent passing of my father.  Countless phone calls, texts, messages, thoughts, and prayers.  Beautiful flowers, touching cards, money, and food.  This is a kind institution, filled with good-hearted people.  Thank you all so very much.  You are truly appreciated. – Judy Jozaitis Thank you from Judy Jozaitis
