We are excited to announce that a Task Force has been established to research and develop a plan for establishment and implementation of shared services centers at UMBC.  In accordance with UMBC's tradition, the Task Force will seek input from all UMBC stakeholders, and will maintain open two way communication as to its progress.  The task force is confident that our work will contribute to UMBC's reputation and future as we stay focused on the academic program, supporting people, and pursuing our priorities of effective and efficient administrative infrastructure to accommodate our continued growth.

We encourage the UMBC community to provide ideas and input to the task force as we move forward.  We have established this myUMBC group to provide updates on progress and as a vehicle to communicate with us. Please go to your myUMBC home page, choose "Groups" from the drop down menu, then "Browse/Search Groups" for the "Shared Services Centers at UMBC" group. Click the blue "Follow Group" button on the top left. This will enable you to communicate with the Task Force and enable the Task Force to provide you with updates as we move forward on this initiative.  

We look forward to working with all of you.
