Community of Practice

Community of Practice (COP)

The Community of Practice (COP) is a cross‑functional forum. While it has strong roots in finance, its focus spans all areas of University business operations, creating a space for broad, interdisciplinary dialogue. Through regular meetings, the COP provides opportunities to hear from guest speakers, receive brief updates from units across campus, and engage in shared learning and discussion. The community supports collaboration, the exchange of insights and best practices, and the development of future leaders.

COP meetings are typically held every other month during the academic year from 9:00-10:30 a.m. Meetings begin with a mix‑and‑mingle breakfast, followed by brief (5-15 minute) updates from business process owners, technology partners, and other contributors, with time reserved for discussion and networking.
