Annual breakfast allows staff to meet, greet The MUSC Budget Office held its third annual Budget and Breakfast Aug. 29.   The event culminates the official MUSC Board of Trustees approval of the fiscal year 2007 university budget. Managers, directors, vice presidents, deans and others were invited to drop in for a complimentary breakfast provided by budget office staff while picking up this year’s budget.   The event allowed those with academic, finance and administration backgrounds to meet and greet each other in a relaxed setting and provided an opportunity for business managers campuswide to network and ask questions about the upcoming budget cycle.   Susie Edwards, Budget and Purchasing director said, “We’ve made great strides in the budget process, but it’s important for us to continue our effort to promote productivity and efficiency. As we continue to link strategic planning with the annual budgeting process, we must focus our attention on engaging wide segments of the university family in establishing institutional priorities. Ultimately, these priorities will drive the allocation of resources and leadership decisions.”     Friday, Sept. 8, 2006 Catalyst Online is published weekly, updated as needed and improved from time to time by the MUSC Office of Public Relations for the faculty, employees and students of the Medical University of South Carolina.
