Dear Business Affairs Team,

As announced earlier today, I am excited and honored to have the opportunity to lead our division. Each of you will play an important role in this transitional time, and I look forward to your continued support of the mission of this great university to which we are all committed.


I am grateful to Dave Kratzer for his guidance and steadiness. As the Facilities Services and Planning, Design and Construction departments move out of the Business Affairs umbrella, he will continue in his role as senior vice president.


I want to thank Taylor Jantz, Senior Vice President, and Chief Financial Officer, for his leadership and support. I look forward to working collaboratively with Taylor and his team.


Our division, which plays a vital role in UF’s operations, will collaborate with colleagues across campus and beyond as we focus on serving students, faculty, and staff with excellence. 


I am grateful to have each one of you on this journey as we transition into this new era.

Sincerely,

Brandi Renton

Interim Vice President for Business Affairs
