‘Town hall’ set on financial outlook

The second in a series of “town hall meetings,” scheduled to provide a financial overview of the University and a look at how present economic conditions will affect the next fiscal year and beyond, is set for 9 to 11 a.m. Thursday, June 25, in McCosh 10. The session is open to all members of the University community.

Presentations will be made by Provost Christopher Eisgruber, Executive Vice President Mark Burstein, Vice President for Finance and Treasurer Carolyn Ainslie and Vice President for Human Resources Lianne Sullivan-Crowley. There also will be a question-and-answer period. The meeting is a follow-up to a similar meeting held in March.
