We thank them in advance for their service and thoughtful guidance during this important process.

Interim Leadership
Effective Jan. 1, 2026, and until we have a new vice chancellor for finance and administration, leadership of the division will be shared by Scott Milman, associate vice chancellor for finance; and Zach Smith, associate vice chancellor for campus enterprises and risk management.
We are confident that they will provide steady leadership as we transition to our next permanent vice chancellor.
Please join us in thanking the advisory committee members for their service and in supporting Scott and Zach in their interim leadership roles.
