The past few years have been ones of tremendous change – the global and national economies have suffered, enrollment has increased as the jobless seek new career skills, and resources on campus have tightened. These conditions have overlapped with changing federal regulations and programs that have contributed to the complexity of managing your office. How to survive and thrive in such an environment is challenging indeed!
EASFAA is offering a seminar on “Managing in Tough Times” which will provide professionals in enrollment management, student accounts and financial aid with strategies for meeting these challenges head on and emerging successfully. Learn effective strategies for staff development, identifying and evaluating core business processes, implementing processing efficiencies, and utilizing data to support your operations. A roundtable discussion will help to explore other possibilities for enhancement of services without increasing resources.
Leading these seminars will be teams of two from the following trainers:
- Mary Miller, Senior Vice President, Educational Services Group, The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency
- Cheryl Storie, Associate Vice President, Financial Aid, University of Maryland University College
- Cissy VanSickle, Director of Financial Aid and Compliance, Garrett College
- John View, Director of Financial Aid, SUNY-College of Environmental Science and Forestry
Registration begins at 9:30 am with the program beginning at 10:00am. Lunch is on your own from noon to 1:00 pm when the seminar will reconvene. The session ends at 3:00 pm. In our “go green” policy, materials will be emailed to participants before the day of the event.
The cost for each training seminar is $50 for EASFAA members and $100 for non-EASFAA members who then also receive EASFAA membership. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your management skills and lead your office in these difficult times.
