Dear colleagues,

Please join me in welcoming Rebecca Struckmeier as the new Assistant Dean for Financial Management, effective July 15, 2024. Struckmeier fills the role recently vacated by Jacinta Kelly, who served the college from 2014 to 2024 with skill, integrity, and compassion. We wish Jacinta all the best in her next role.

Rebecca holds a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management from the University of Southern New Hampshire and a Master of Business Administration from Johns Hopkins University. Struckmeier joins UMBC from Johns Hopkins, where she worked as a Senior Accounting Manager for the Johns Hopkins University Controller's Office. Rebecca previously served as UMBC’s PeopleSoft Systems Manager and Assistant Controller from 2009 through 2022.

Many in the UMBC community know Rebecca’s significant contributions to our campus during her tenure, including business process improvements across PeopleSoft Finance, implementing PAW Procurement, and streamlining payroll distribution.

As Assistant Dean in the College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences, Struckmeier will support the dean in the financial management of the college, its departments, and affiliated units. She will direct and oversee CNMS Business Central, which handles payroll, purchasing, grants (pre- and post-award), and budgets for the college and its departments. We are delighted to have Rebecca “back” on campus. Her knowledge and experience will be invaluable to the continued success and financial well-being of the college.

Sincerely,

William R. LaCourse
Dean, College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences
