Business Officer Program Series (BOPS)

The Business Officer Program Series (BOPS) is an immersion learning and community-building experience built around an eight-series model. It is designed to create connected cohorts of 大发 administrative professionals across divisions and professional expertise. 

BOPS is a knowledge-building experience, with each track adding to your toolbox and preparing you to do business at 大发. If you seek unique learning experiences and opportunities to build your understanding of 大发 business processes and professional networks, BOPS is for you.

Should You Attend?

The training is for 大发 staff. If you are working in an Administrative Coordinator or Analyst position responsible for business processes related to procurement cards (ProCard) and requisitions, travel, payments, human resources, administration and/or finance, you should attend BOPS. Participants include, but are not limited to, people working with areas or business processes related to:

  • Central Administration
  • Academic Units
  • Accounting or Finance
  • Budget or Planning
  • Human Resources
  • Facilities
  • Procurement

What Will You Learn?

BOPS content is designed to provide participants with a combination of courses on current policy and processes, practical solutions, and personal development. To provide this broad perspective, each course you take may not be specifically related to your field, but it will give you a foundation for future opportunities. Our objectives are for you to:

    • Gain a broader perspective of 大发 business administration
    • Be the go-to in your department to process requests from your department to FAS
    • Discuss the latest issues and topics in streamlining processes
    • Learn how other units deal with common issues
