Dear Members of the UMBC Community,

I am delighted to announce the appointment of Ms. Kathy Dettloff as our new Associate Vice President for Financial Services, effective August 14.

Ms. Dettloff joins us from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, where she served as the Vice President of Finance and Budget and Associate Treasurer. In this role, she was responsible for providing university-wide leadership and broad strategic oversight to the areas of the Controller’s Office, University Budget Office, Treasury, Risk Management and Insurance, and University Finance and Administration’s Shared Services. She was also the key advisor to the Executive Vice President of Finance and Administration and Treasurer.

Prior to her time at Rutgers, Ms. Dettloff was the Chief Budget Officer at the University of Delaware, where she provided budgetary guidance and consultation to the president, provost, and key senior leaders of the university. During her time there she fostered a collaborative approach to budgeting and financial planning. Previously, she held various positions of increasing responsibility at Johns Hopkins University, including Budget Officer.

As Associate Vice President for Financial Services, Ms. Dettloff will oversee all financial areas, including financial reporting, budget development, accounts receivable, general ledger, inventory control, accounts payable, and contract and grant accounting. In this role, Ms. Dettloff will work with UMBC's councils and committees to communicate relevant information and provide important data to inform decision-making and support UMBC's mission and vision. She will also serve as liaison with University System of Maryland and State officials.

“I am incredibly excited to join the UMBC community," says Ms. Dettloff. "I look forward to collaborating with faculty, staff, and students to advance the mission and vision of this exceptional institution.”

Ms. Dettloff brings a wealth of strategic, technical, and operational experience and talent at a very important time in our history, and UMBC is very fortunate to have someone of her impressive experience, abilities, and talent.

I know she will be a valuable addition to our campus community. Please join me in welcoming and supporting her.

Lynne Schaefer, Vice President, Finance and Administration
