HR to Assume Student Payroll Processing Functions Effective Aug 3
Dear Dragons,
We are pleased to announce that, effective August 3, 2026, the Office of Human Resources will assume responsibility for processing and supporting the payroll functions for our student workers on campus.
To support the transition, Brian Johnson joined the Human Resources team as Payroll Coordinator on July 15, 2026. Prior to assuming this role, Brian served as an Office Administrative Specialist in the Office of Graduate Studies, where he developed a strong understanding of campus operations and student services. Since joining Human Resources, he has been working closely with our colleagues in Business Services to learn the student payroll processes and help ensure a smooth and seamless transition for student employees and supervisors.
Beginning August 3, student employees and their supervisors should contact or visit the Human Resources Office in Owens Hall, Room 214, for assistance with student payroll matters. We are located one floor above Business Services, next to the Registrar.
Please note that this transition applies only to student payroll processing and related payroll support. Questions regarding student worker financial aid will continue to be handled by the Financial Aid Office, and support related to student employment and career development will continue to be provided through the Career Development Center.
We are excited about this transition and look forward to providing excellent service and support to our student employees and supervisors. Thank you to our partners in Business Services for their assistance during this transition, and please join us in welcoming Brian to his new role.
With Gratitude,
Amanda Korynta, SHRM-CP
