Meet Some University Employees
Edmond
He appreciates the broad range of responsibilities these jobs demand of him, having to focus
on very different skills depending on what kind of project he is currently involved in. This
has been his experience with the University for the last 8 years in different positions, but
always with the same challenging environment. "The University is so large and offers so much
of a range of opportunities that you can grow and develop in more than one area. The bidding
system allows you to move internally within the University so you always have the chance to
meet interesting new challenges," Edmond said.
Edmond also values the personality of the University community, comparing it favorably to
experiences in the corporate world. "There are diverse, interesting people here…who I find
are as competent, educated, and talented as those who work in a for-profit, corporate
setting." The relationships he has with his colleagues extend outside the University walls,
however, and into his neighborhood. "Hyde Park is a great community to work in and live in."
As the Finance Manager and Senior Analyst for Community Affairs, Edmond has wide-ranging
responsibilities that go beyond a simple definition of his job. He manages the finances and
budgets of the Community Affairs Office, which includes the University Police and Real Estate
Operations. He also oversees the fiscal operations of various offices in Student Operations.
As a Senior Analyst, he plans, writes, and collaborates on special studies of the University
and how it relates to the community and the marketplace. In addition, he is involved in many
aspects of the administration of Student Operations, often running special committees for the
International Affairs Office, Academic Publications, the Bursar's and Registrar's Offices, and
Graduate Aid, Planning, and Research.
