Governance

The University of Florida will modernize its administrative information systems and associated business processes utilizing Workday. These administrative systems enable mission-critical business processes to conduct the work of the University.

In order to provide guidance and oversight for the Empowering UF initiative, a governance structure has been established that is comprised of Executive Sponsors and a Project Implementation Team.

In addition, a network of Campus Advisory Committees and subject matter experts will join Empowering UF to provide guidance and input into the initiative. The Empowering UF governance structure is described below.
