[Oasfaa] OASFAA Digest, Vol 174, Issue 2

[Gary Garoffolo]

My friendship with Charlie began in 1979 when we were both Financial Aid Directors in Indiana and it has continued over the years. I had the pleasure of working with Charlie at OSU for 17 years. I can not add anything to what is already said in his Obituary located at  http://obituaries.stwnewspress.com/obituary/dr-charles-bruce-1942-2018-1071240609 other than he was one of the brightest and kindest men I have ever met. 

RIP my friend

OSU's former financial aid director, Dr. Charles Bruce, passed away Tuesday evening.  He was the OSU director from 1981 - 2014.

For those of you that didn't get a chance to know him, he was a prominent figure nationally, serving as NASFAA chair and also doing extensive work with the Department of Education.  He was instrumental in the creation of the Direct Loan program, of which OSU was one of the early adopters.

He always had a very, very strong commitment to student service.  One of our OSU colleagues remarked today that, "Charlie would do absolutely anything for a student except break a rule."  I think that's a pretty wonderful description of what we strive for in our profession.

His full bio, prepared for his retirement in 2014, is attached.

We don't yet know when services will be, but will pass that along when we learn of them.
