“Even though I primarily deal with funding and record keeping, (at the J-School) we are all here for the same reason: the students.” -- Gayle Vannicola

“It is important to have an open door policy. If we want to be successful, we can’t be afraid to ask questions.  My door is always open.” said Gayle Vannicola, business manager.

Although Vannicola has worked in various departments at the university since 1978, the J-School has quickly become home for her. 

“There is a unique bond between students, faculty and everyone who walks the halls of Stauffer-Flint which is essential for professional and personal success,” said Gayle Vannicola, business manager.

Vannicola manages the school’s various accounts and provides Dean Brill with the financial standings of the J-School.  She enjoys her role within the School because compiling reports, working hard and accurately and “having everything balance in the end” is what gives (her) the greatest satisfaction.
