Functional Integration

Functional Integration is the thoughtful and methodical process that aligns and integrates the structures, roles, processes, and cultures of two or more merging organizations.

Functional Integration creates the institutional foundation needed to operate seamlessly across all campuses. It enables:

  • A unified operating model​
  • Consistent service delivery for faculty, staff, students and partners​
  • Clear roles and responsibilities across teams and leaders​
  • Aligned policies, systems, and workflows​
  • Stronger compliance, efficiency and collaboration​
  • A workforce model that evolves with needs

Building on this foundation, the following units and functional areas have begun active participation in the Functional Integration effort—working collaboratively to align operations, streamline workflows, and advance a consistent, institution-wide operating model.
