David Creamer, senior vice president for administration, is one of two finalists being considered for a position at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

According to a Miami University press release, the position is vice president for finance and business services. The other candidate is Natalie “Nikki” Krawitz, vice president for finance and administration at the University of Missouri System.

Creamer said he will travel to Miami University Jan. 28 and 29 for another visit.

Even so, Creamer said because he has not been offered the position yet, he has not made any decisions about leaving Kent State. If he does not receive the position offer, Creamer said he will remain at Kent State.

At Kent State, Creamer oversees the university budget, facilities, building planning and construction, bursar, and cash and investment management among other responsibilities. Creamer has held a role as vice president at Kent State since 1998.

Crain’s Cleveland Business magazine awarded Creamer the 2007 Chief Financial Officer of the year award in October for the non-profit education sector, recognizing him as one of the region’s top money managers.
