Sr. Berchmans of the Sacred Heart, SND (Catherine A. Saunders) served as the College’s first treasurer. The Office of the Treasurer seeks to provide the physical, technological and financial resources needed to uphold the College's mission and provide the best learning and working environment for its faculty, staff and students.

Major responsibilities include budgeting and planning, financial accounting, facilities management, information technology management, capital improvements and construction, endowment and investment management.
The major goals of the Office are: 1) Monitor the College's financial standing through monthly reporting, 2) Make data-driven decisions, 3) Invest the College's endowment ethically in funds consistent with our mission and Catholic teachings and 4) Evaluate policies and procedures to improve efficacy and efficiency.
