William Lawlor has been appointed assistant vice chancellor for business and finance at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
Lawlor, who has been with UNMC for 11 years, has been serving as controller in the business and finance office. In that role, he oversaw financial compliance, general accounting, sponsored programs accounting, bond financing, payroll, and other financial activities.
In his new role, he also will oversee risk management, procurement and materials management, real estate acquisition and rental management, and the controller's office, all campus business operations and other duties.
He also will assist Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance Deb Thomas and UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold. M.D.
Thomas called Lawlor an invaluable member of the business and finance team.
"His depth of knowledge, professional ability and demonstrated leadership capability made him an obvious choice for this new role, which offers him greater responsibility and gives the business and finance department a proven and respected leader," she said.
A graduate of Lincoln Southeast High School and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, Lawlor also has a licentiate in philosophy degree from St. Michael’s Institute at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash.
"Part of my job is bringing together a lot of diverse groups to help improve UNMC and to ensure that financially we can continue to support all the areas of our mission," he said. "Compliance is really important — fiscal responsibility, stewardship."
