Charlene Uhl Announces Retirement

Dear Members of the UMBC Community,

We are writing to inform you that Charlene Uhl, Director of Budget and Resource Analysis, has announced her retirement effective March 1, 2018. Her last day in the office will be Friday, February 23.

Charlene has served as the Director of the Office of Budget and Resource Analysis at the University for almost six years.  She has been a great resource for all of us in a highly visible role. Her impressive understanding of the budget process at the State level and her ability to discuss strategy and budget at a detailed campus level have provided valuable input to the legislative processes influencing our budget as well as policy issues. She has improved and documented many of our campus budget procedures with the assistance of her excellent staff. Additionally, she has served on many campus committees and task forces over those years including Strategic Planning and Middle States Work Groups. We are deeply grateful for all of the great work she has done for Financial Services and UMBC.

A search committee to find a replacement has already been established. We hope to fill the vacancy as quickly as possible and will inform the campus as soon as the position is filled.

On behalf of Financial Services and the entire UMBC community, we would like to thank Charlene for her exceptional contributions to UMBC over the years.

Please join us in congratulating Charlene as she enters this new and exciting stage of life on Thursday, February 22, 3 - 5 p.m., in The Commons, Fireside Lounge.  Light refreshments will be served. Please RSVP to Desiree Stonesifer, sdesiree@umbc.edu, by February 15 if you can join us for this occasion.

Lynne Schaefer, Vice President, Administration & Finance

Ben Lowenthal, Associate Vice President, Financial Services
