Shared Service Center Update

The shared services center is please to announce we have finalize recruitment for our vacancies, and have received acceptance of offer letters for four (4) new hires. One of which has already started with us, this past Monday (4/10/23), the other three (3) new hires are scheduled to start with us on Monday, May 8th.

Please join us in giving Rachel Garcia, who started with us on Monday, as our Business Operations Coordinator, a warm welcome to the AAOU SSC! 

Over the next month, we will be working to get all new hires the necessary system access, which includes the completion of the Paw Procurement System, (PAW) and PeopleSoft Finance Security Access Forms. Some of these forms may require department approval once routed, so if you receive a request to approve an access form for your department via DocuSign, please do not overlook the email, please take a moment to review and approve the form.

We will send a more formal update and welcome to all of our new hires once everyone has started with us in May, with additional details about a timeline and plan to resume full operations for all AAOU SSC departments.

For now, if you happen to receive a DocuSign for your approval for the Paw Procurement System (PAW) and PS Finance Departmental Approval Security Access form for Rachel Garcia, please review and approve the form. If you have any questions about the form feel free to contact me directly at vcruz@umbc.edu.

For your reference, this form is giving Rachel approval access to the following functions AAOU SSC handles on behalf of all AAOU SSC departments:

Thank you,

AAOU SSC Team
