I would certainly be able to do a session on how SAP works between the

We’re looking for session proposals that can help others better understand, support, and collaborate with financial aid. If you’ve got insights or ideas to share, we’d love for you to submit a session proposal by this Friday, August 1.

Here are a few session ideas we’d love to see, but feel free to suggest your own (please feel free to reach back out to me with any questions you may have - slatorraca at okwu.edu<mailto:slatorraca at okwu.edu>):

  *
Professional Judgment: Helping other college departments understand what is possible within the bounds of federal aid.
  *
SAP Appeals: Balancing compliance with compassion to better serve students.
  *
Overview of Financial Aid Programs: A foundational walkthrough using tools like NASFAA slides to bring clarity to other departments.
  *
Creating a Default Prevention Plan with Measurable Outcomes: With loans entering repayment and CDRs around the corner, what are aid offices doing—and how can others join the effort?
  *
Net Price Calculators & Cost Transparency: Equipping students and families with a clearer understanding of what college really costs.

Let’s take this opportunity to share what we know, support one another, and help other offices see just how strategic and student-focused our work really is.
Thanks for considering—and please don’t wait! Proposals are due by Friday, August 1.

I am in the middle of audit and onboarding too.  Like crazy.  I had submitted an abstract to Vicki on SAP, but I'm scheduled for a different session already and would be glad to punt that topic over to you. I asked her to send you the abstract to see if she could switch things over easily.

I am waist deep in audit right now, but will try to get that done by the
end of the day.  Ashley Torres Hernandez offered to tag team with me for
clock hour schools if I did the SAP, so I will think about that one.

  *
Professional Judgment: Helping other college departments understand what is possible within the bounds of federal aid.
  *
SAP Appeals: Balancing compliance with compassion to better serve students.
  *
Overview of Financial Aid Programs: A foundational walkthrough using tools like NASFAA slides to bring clarity to other departments.
  *
Creating a Default Prevention Plan with Measurable Outcomes: With loans entering repayment and CDRs around the corner, what are aid offices doing—and how can others join the effort?
  *
Net Price Calculators & Cost Transparency: Equipping students and families with a clearer understanding of what college really costs.

Let’s take this opportunity to share what we know, support one another, and help other offices see just how strategic and student-focused our work really is.

I am in the middle of audit and onboarding too.  Like crazy.  I had submitted an abstract to Vicki on SAP, but I'm scheduled for a different session already and would be glad to punt that topic over to you. I asked her to send you the abstract to see if she could switch things over easily.
