DFA Leadership Update: Financial & Accounting Services

May 29, 2026

Dear Campus Partners,

I am writing to share that Carol Dinuzzo, Director of Financial & Accounting Services, will be departing from UC Merced. Her last day with the university is Friday, June 12, 2026.

Since joining UC Merced in August 2022, Carol has led the Financial & Accounting Services team with a strong commitment to operational excellence, partnership, and service. During her time on campus, she has played an important role in supporting core financial operations and advancing key business processes within Business and Financial Services.

Carol has been a valued leader and colleague, known for her collaborative approach, dedication to her team, and focus on delivering high-quality service to the campus community. Her contributions have strengthened financial practices and supported the university’s mission.

Following Carol’s departure, I will work closely with the Financial & Accounting Services team to provide continuity, support staff, and help guide both the team and the campus through fiscal year-end activities.

Please join me in thanking Carol for her service and contributions to UC Merced, and in wishing her all the best in her next chapter.

Additional updates will be shared as they become available.

Sincerely,

Kelli Maxey

Assistant Controller

Business & Financial Services
