UAS welcomes a new Associate Vice Chancellor of Finance and Personnel. Jim comes to Juneau from Boston, Massachusetts. When Jim is asked, “What attracts you to Juneau?” “I like the rain” he responds, “I really enjoy small communities and Juneau has many of the amenities of a larger city with a small town feel.” Jim comes to UAS with a broad experience in higher education. In his most recent position, Jim worked as the controller at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Jim has also worked as a certified public accountant with Deloitte in their higher education practice group. “A major part of being a good administrator at an institution of higher education” Jim says, “is providing the information people need to make strategic decisions.” Jim hopes to be an administrative resource for faculty and staff and is looking forward to working with the UAS community.
