Spring 2007 GPIC Pre-Conference Sessions
Debt Management
Part I: This portion of the session is for the Financial Aid Office (FAO) to use to facilitate the institutions “buy-in” to debt management (default prevention) initiatives at the school. This will help the FAO explain that it is not just an FAO responsibility and how it can impact the institution! In other words, we should all have a vested interest as a whole.
Part II: This portion of the session will share “best practices” for the institution and also includes a simple Debt Management 101 workshop to conduct to your students.
