After an unprecedented Spring semester that not only changed life on campus as we know it, it has also changed and continues to change our daily lives.  As we begin to focus on the upcoming academic year we will take a look at what is still keeping Financial Aid Administrators up at night and discuss tips and best practices to manage it all. This session will review the latest information on International Students, study abroad programs, the CARES Act along with communication and time management tips that will help our offices, students and each of us manage the upcoming academic year during a global health pandemic
