Introducing UVAFinance: Stacey Rittenhouse

Stacey Rittenhouse, Business Services Manager

What do you do as Business Services Manager?  

I manage the Admin Team,  which helps support UVAFinance. We do anything from scheduling, catering, rearranging furniture in conference rooms, taking care of the building, onboarding/offboarding, and working on the BOV quarterly reports.

Who do you work with regularly? 

I work with most everyone in UVAFinance, as well as some employees in ITS, OSP, Audit, SFS, and UREG. I often work with Facilities Management.

What seasons are busiest, or what rhythms exist in your job? 

 I am pretty busy all the time.

What might surprise people about the work you do/this role/your department or area? 

I have dealt with some funny things over the years, such as animals getting in the building or putting out fires in the cigarette dispensers. It is funny, whenever something strange happens or an alarm sounds or something breaks, most people come to my desk. 

What do you like best about working in UVAFinance? 

I love working in UVAFinance because of the people I work with and having been given the opportunity to grow into the role I have now. I like the wide variety of tasks I do, so there is never a boring day.

How do you connect your work with the UVA Finance Values? 

I strive to be an impeccable source of information to my colleagues while always trying to provide the best customer service. Our collaborative partnership with other departments in Carruthers helped us establish both receptionist desks and install cameras and panic buttons to better secure the building.
