Prior to her interim appointment, Alyse was the Manager of Cash Operations in the Office of the Bursar responsible for overseeing the daily operations of all incoming departmental and student receipts, and all outgoing student and vendor disbursements. Alyse also managed compliance for State of Connecticut cash, federal Title IV student aid disbursements, the ACH Network (Nacha), and Payment Card Industry (PCI). She responded to all internal and State of CT audit inquiries.
