Letter from the President

February 12, 2020


Hello ACUA Family!

I am very excited to jump into the Winter 2020 issue of ACUA’s College and University Auditor journal. I would be remiss if I did not take this opportunity to thank all our volunteers and staff working to share their expertise through the Journal. As I reflect on my day-to-day job, working in the vast operations of a university, I could not feel as confident and eager to have discussions with individuals around my university if it was not for our ACUA colleagues sharing their stories. As I pull research for a new project, advise our boards of emerging risks, or work hands-on with our student interns, I often turn to the Journal to gain insights. Many thanks to the authors, volunteers, and staff for showcasing their higher education knowledge.
 
In addition to sharing knowledge in a professional journal, ACUA is dedicated to providing fantastic in-person trainings, which you can experience first-hand at our conferences—many authors contributing to the Journal also speak at our conferences. Our mantra of Learn, Apply, and Collaborate is something ACUA takes to heart when planning each conference; therefore, you will not want to miss the opportunity to build on your professional expertise at Audit Interactive in Nashville, Tennessee. We encourage your participation at Audit Interactive!

ACUA’s mantra is woven in all our association strategies and I would like to hear from you on ways your audit teams learn, apply, and collaborate from the expertise shared within the Journal and other ACUA channels. Shanika Holland is collecting success stories on behalf of ACUA and including them in the ACUA Monthly Digest. Please email Shanika at shanika@clemson.edu to share your story.

I look forward to seeing everyone at Audit Interactive from April 5th–8th! Email me anytime with your thoughts and ideas for ACUA!

Most sincerely, 
Julia Hann
ACUA President
