Welcome to Ross Faculty Support Services

Faculty Support is dedicated to providing skilled and creative administrative support to faculty at the Ross School of Business. We strive to excel in technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and initiative, and we are committed to customer service.

The Faculty Support staff consists of two groups of employees: Coordinators and Academic Area Administrators. 

Coordinators work in floor teams to provide administrative, classroom, and research support for the faculty located on each floor of the Ross Building. Faculty are not assigned individual coordinators, but are rather assigned to the floor team. There are several ways to contact and request services from the coordinators on your floor, but the best way is to contact them via your floor support’s email (listed below).

Academic Area Administrators provide support to faculty and area chairs on a department level and can assist with more specialized administrative tasks, such as hiring students, conference planning, and making large purchases. See below to find out who your Academic Area Administrator is and their email address.

Proctoring:

Contact Katy Reeves with any proctoring requests you have. In general, you will proctor your own class, but if you have more than one room, Katy is your go-to person. Please let her know as soon as you know or suspect you will need assistance.

For students who qualify for SSD accommodations (e.g. time and a half for exams/quizzes), you may contact the Special Accommodations Coordinator at RossAccommodationsCoordinator@umich.edu.
