October 4, 2023
Dear Faculty and Staff Colleagues:
We are pleased to announce the promotion of Kevin Keith to Assistant Vice President, Financial Operations, Administration & Budget.
Since joining Brandeis three years ago, Kevin has served as the Executive Director of Operations, Administration & Budget for the School of Arts and Sciences. In this role, Kevin and his team have worked to more closely align the goals and initiatives of the School of Arts and Sciences with the strategic goals of the university; created and revised policies and procedures to allow for increased transparency in decision making; and served as a strategic partner and resource to various areas outside of A&S.
Kevin will lead the newly established Provost Finance Team, comprised of the primary financial managers from each academic area and the Provost’s Office. This team will work to create efficiencies, transparency and standardization across our academic areas, and serve as a bridge between the academic and administrative units within Brandeis.
Importantly, the Provost Finance Team will collaborate closely with the university’s Budget and Financial Strategy & Planning offices to further the university's budget, financial analysis, strategic planning, and data-driven decision support capabilities.
We look forward to the continued development of the Provost Finance Team and the cross-collaborative role it serves for the university.
Please join us in congratulating Kevin on this new promotion and opportunity.
Best,
Carol Fierke, Provost and EVP for Academic Affairs
Stew Uretsky, EVP for Finance & Administration
