Campbell is the UW’s vice president for Finance & Budget Strategy and deputy chief financial officer.  He joined the University of Washington in 2017 and served as a senior director for the Financial Analysis and Budget Strategy division. In 2022, he was promoted to associate vice provost of Planning and Budgeting. He received his bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara and a master’s degree in accounting from California State University, Sacramento.

Norris Hall has been with the University since 2009, and in 2024, led the Finance, Planning and Budgeting team through an organizational and leadership restructuring. The newly configured Office of Finance, Planning and Budgeting combined UW Finance with the UW Office of Planning and Budgeting. 

Norris Hall has been named the next chief financial officer with the Allen Institute. Her last day at the UW will be Aug. 1. 

“Sarah’s human-centered leadership will have a lasting impact on the University and the people we serve,” Cauce said. “We are so grateful for her service and so glad she’ll be continuing her journey with an organization closely connected to our Husky family.”
