During Vukic鈥檚 time at the university, she has efficiently developed a breadth of insight. She identifies opportunities, solves problems and helps each department achieve their goals.

She provides a personalized support system for each of her clients. Shelly Gair, Executive Director of the Vice President Research & International (VPRI) says, 鈥淗eidi鈥檚 job title is 鈥淗R Business Partner,鈥� and I think all the leaders within the VPRI portfolio would agree that she truly is one of our 鈥減artners鈥� and that she consistently works above and beyond the call of duty鈥�.
