Success!
OBFS successfully launched an organization-wide Transparency Commitment in June 2014. This was in response to focus group reports that you, our customers, need and expect more access, visibility, and consistency in receiving information, tracking requests, and finding solutions to fulfill your business operations needs with consideration for University and OBFS policies and procedures. All OBFS employees have made this commitment: iACT to Deliver Clear and Consistent Solutions.
As OBFS unit-specific activities are completed or survey/focus group results are received, information will be added to this section.
