The Travel & Expense Team consists of two specialists and a Travel & Expense Lead who service travelers from the 23 colleges, the Systems Office, and the SSC. It is our mission to focus on reimbursing travelers in a timely manner while enforcing regulatory compliance, reducing costs, and continuously improving travel operations and processes.
