Additional responsibilities include coordinating Christmas and official institutional greetings, processing expense claims and purchasing card transactions, supporting procurement-related activities including submitting purchase requisitions and managing purchase orders, overseeing membership and institutional membership renewals, coordinating retirement acknowledgements, maintaining accurate contact information, providing general updates on the administrative area, faculty or department website, and performing other duties as assigned.
