In Focus

Welcome to InFocus!

Vice President Krawitz

Among the Finance and Administration core values are honesty, trust, and ethics.  We strive to live these values by cultivating professional relationships that are authentic and open and guided by the highest ethical and legal standards.  Michael Josephson of the Josephson Institute said, “Honesty requires good faith intent to convey the truth as best we know it and to avoid communicating in a way that is likely to mislead or deceive.”  Our goal is to consistently operate every day with these values in mind so that our actions speak for themselves.     Concentrating on building regular daily habits of integrity allows us to do our work with pride, to face challenges without fear, and to move towards growth with strength.  As a division of the University of Missouri System, the way we conduct business reflects upon the University and ourselves.  As we hold ourselves accountable to the highest ethical business standards and follow through with our commitments, we do our part to drive this great organization to true success and prosperity.

The goal of the newsletter is to enhance our customer service by providing information that will support the work that you do for the university.  As always, we welcome your feedback and your contributions.

  Vice President for Finance & Administration
