I am pleased to announce that Ellen Lowe has accepted the permanent appointment as Director of Payroll, after serving on an interim basis since June 2024. Prior to the interim appointment, Ellen's role was Assistant Director of Payroll.
Ellen earned a BS in Business Administration from the University of Connecticut. She began her professional career at the university soon thereafter. Because of Ellen's journey of continuous learning and professional growth, she developed the skills necessary to lead the Payroll Office. She has worked in the office for over 24 years during which she was responsible for overseeing every facet of the department, including biweekly payroll production, compliance, education/training, outreach, and numerous strategic initiatives. She has also established critical working relationships across the university and within state leadership.
I am thrilled to have Ellen continue applying her skills, knowledge, experience, and collegiality as she directs the Payroll Office and contributes to university initiatives. Please take a moment to congratulate Ellen on the permanent appointment.

Associate Vice-President for Financial Operations and Controller
