When Linda joined the U of I in 2016, she was the University Controller. Since then, her responsibilities have grown and now serves as the Associate Vice President for Finance. She believes strong relationships will help achieve her goal of continuously improving systems, processes, and service levels across her team, as well as improving the overall financial health of the University.
