[Schmerer, Mendy M. (HSC)]

Ah, Boot Camp.  For those of you who have had the privilege of attending sometime in your career, is there really any better intense training that you can get as an FAA?

For those of you who are planning on attending in November, I look forward to several great days with you!  Hope you all are surviving August!

SWASFAA Team Chatter has posted a new item, 'Boot Camp Fills Financial Need'

Hello SWASFAA, my name is Jan and I think I might need help.  Don’t tell anybody, but I’m a repeat Boot Camper.  I like the help I get from seasoned financial aid professionals.  What is it about Boot Camp that makes it so irresistible?

Maybe it’s the focused learning environment or the amount of info that’s covered in a short period of time or… could it be something else?

I know - maybe it’s the great themes they come up with each year. Survivor was the theme the first year I went. I was so new to financial aid, I had no idea how prophetic that would turn out to be! Boot camp definitely provided the glue that helped me fit all those pieces of regulations and policies together. While I may not have Outwitted or even Outplayed, maybe I can say I’ve at least Outlasted.

Is this Your First Rodeo was my next experience. I got a real kick out of that one. Let’s just say it was far beyond any “firsts” for me. But that particular year, it did kind of feel like there was a new sheriff in town and maybe I wasn’t too seasoned to at least hear about the new rules. Wow, what a surprise -there were some areas where my prior knowledge had slipped a little bit. How did that happen?

This year’s theme seems really great, Building Financial Aid Knowledge One Brick at a Time. Whether you need those bricks to begin building your knowledge, or like me, you could benefit from some foundation stabilizing; boot camp is the place for you November 7th 8th and 9th at the historic Skirvin Hotel in Oklahoma City.
