Changes to Transformation Team Structures


To align with the leadership structure of the Vermont State University, we will be changing the structure of the transformation teams over the next few months. The core team structure will be shifted to have five teams that better match the purview of the new leaders: New Student Experience, Student Success, Academic Programs, Administrative Operations, and Workforce Development. A benefit of this is to provide more capacity to focus on each of these aspects that together support the whole student experience. Because of this change, the sub-teams will be realigned under this structure.

A change of governance of these teams will also take place so that the new senior leadership team will be part of the transformation teams to complete the developing and implementing of projects for each function of the university. The Vice President of Student Success will assume leadership of the Student Success core team once they are selected. When a Vice President of Business and Operations is appointed, we will organize the sub-teams within Administrative Operations to reflect our future shared service designs.
