VCU Finance and Administration

For VCU Finance and Administration, innovation is more than a buzzword – it is an intrinsic value, a passion for problem-solving, and a commitment to unparalleled service and creativity. Innovation is deliberately embedded in everything we do to support student success and patient care. 

As a division, we are intentional about creating a culture that allows for the exchange of ideas, encourages collaboration, and embraces failures as part of our journey to success. Sometimes, our ideas grow out of inspiration, and sometimes they are born out of necessity. 

We aren’t bound by bureaucracy—we are an incredibly uncommon team of professionals committed to VCU’s mission and always looking for ways to improve.
