Pamela Morris University support staff
Pamela Morris
Started at KU: 1995.
Current title: Budget officer and accountant, School of Education.
What that means: Morris oversees nine federally funded grants that serve low-income or other underserved populations. She is responsible for monitoring almost $4 million in funds annually. She also prepares and maintains multiple budgets and federal grant reports, assists project coordinators on grant proposals and directs personnel by supervising budgetary tasks completed by office managers.
Notable: In the past year, Morris assisted with the creation of four federal grant proposals, generating budgets and supporting narratives and assisting with the submission process. During the same period, her office was moved twice and she assumed additional responsibilities because a colleague was out of the office on leave. Coworkers said Morris remained positive and productive throughout the turbulent period.
