<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">To all my financial aid colleagues, I spent last week in Albuquerque at the SWASFAA Boot Camp and Conference. I was afforded the opportunity to make new friends
and reconnect with many whom I only get to see once or twice a year. Several times, conversations reinforced the notion that we are a family. We serve in a challenging profession, to say the least, and yet the rewards, the reasons we stay, are impossible
to quantify. The challenges we face, whether they are borne out of funding, regulations and legislation, software, or administrative burdens, should spur us on to always turn toward one another for support. To seek to train one another. To provide best
practices suggestions. To provide moral support. To encourage one another. To keep us all accountable to our students and our institutions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

and I am honored to be a part of it. I am proud to call you friends and family.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">On this day exactly 50 years ago, America took a giant leap forward in our efforts to address the crippling effects of poverty and inequality. When President Lyndon B. Johnson
signed the Higher Education Act (HEA) into law on November 8, 1965 on the campus of Texas State College, his stated purpose was to "swing open a new door for the young people of America…the door to education." The programs authorized through the HEA would
be the key to unlocking that door—and in doing so changing the lives and futures of millions of Americans.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

yourselves, seized the challenge that Johnson articulated—to help ensure that no qualified student be denied access to a postsecondary education due to a lack of financial resources.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

the best ways to serve students and ensure access and success. But on this day, let us celebrate how far we have come, together.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
