Celebrating Excellence!
It's a new month and with so much going on right now, it's important to take a moment and recognize our EVP-COO employees who spend their days making sure UVA upholds its commitment to excellence for the greater good of our students, faculty, staff, and regional neighbors.
Last week my office stopped in at the UVA Office of Audit and Compliance to celebrate and thank our dedicated employees as part of National Compliance Officer Day (Sept. 26). The Audit Team assists UVA’s Board of Visitors and University management in the discharge of their oversight, management, and operating responsibilities by providing independent assurance and consulting services to the University community. Find out more about the critical work this office does every day to make sure UVA achieves full local, state, and federal compliance in all areas of research, grants, polices, procedures, finance, operational, and IT.

October is not only for pumpkin spice lattes and beautiful fall colors, but also Open Enrollment 2025 for all UVA employees. On behalf of UVA HR, I encourage everyone to participate early and actively in this year’s process. It's important for employees to choose the right health plan and benefit savings accounts that best fits their family's health care needs and financial well-being for the coming year. UVA HR offers an incredibly helpful series of virtual webinars, benefits presentations, town hall, expos, website, etc. to help you educate yourself about the changes and understand how these changes may affect you: https://hr.virginia.edu/benefits/open-enrollment-2025.
