North Texas e-News ran a press release this week about the UC Agriculture and Natural Resources vice president for administration's new position at Southern Methodist University. Beginning Sept. 1, Christine Casey will be the vice president for business and finance at SMU.
"SMU is a perfect fit for me with my background and experience,” Casey is quoted in the release. “I am extremely excited to have the opportunity to work with Dr. (Gerald) Turner (SMU president) and the students, faculty and staff at SMU.”
The story reported that, since 2005, Casey has had oversight and management of ANR administrative functions. It said she developed the division’s first formal budgeting process and supervised departments similar to the ones she will oversee at SMU.
The press release also appears on the SMU Web site.
