Associate Vice President for Financial Services William Britton has announced the appointment of Elizabeth Kerkmans as bursar. She will assume oversight for the centralized accounts receivable systems for the university as well as operations of student financial services. Kerkmans takes over for Leo Moya who retired last year. She began her new position April 23.
Kerkmans will also be responsible for all cash handling functions of the University, accepting deposits from students, departments and external agencies as well as keeping complete records of tuition, fees and other receipts for the institution.
Kerkmans started at UNM in 1981 and has worked in various accounting positions in financial services. Most recently she was the manager of accounting for student accounting in the bursar organization.
