    Oregon Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators www.oasfaaonline.org Nov/Dec/Jan 2007-2008 Newsletter Executive Council A publication of the Oregon Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, a not-for-profit membership organization Leslie Limper President President’s letter Crisanne Werner President-Elect Whew, what a year! For those of you who have been in the financial aid profession for a few years, I think you’ll agree that 2007 was one of the Tracey Lehman more memorable ones. We’ve seen more scrutiny, more regulations, and Past-President more challenges, but we’ve also seen more grant money for students and that, for me, is the highlight of 2007. New federal programs (such as the Melinda Dunnick TEACH grant) and changing eligibility criteria (such as the Shared Vice President Responsibility Model for the Oregon Opportunity Grant) will mean more money for our Community Colleges students in 2008, but will also mean more challenges for our offices as we implement these programs. Terri Crawford Vice President As you encounter these challenges in 2008, I encourage you to use OASFAA as a resource. Independent Institutions OASFAA exists to provide you and your office with training and support, as well as opportunities to ask questions, find answers, and explore options. The OASFAA Executive Anny Hawkins Council will work throughout 2008 to enhance existing training opportunities and provide Vice President support for all of Oregon’s financial aid community.

NORTHWEST ASSOCIATION of Secondary and HigherLIE Schools accredited George Fox College on Decem­ ber 2, 1959. Without this credential, the school had little prospect o(celebrating a 100th birthday-or perhaps even a 75th. • Two years earlier, accreditation seemed inconceivable. JamiU)"·Ft:bruuy. 19S9 An indebtedness that approached $150,000 headed a long list of liabilities. Yet from 1957 to 1959 a remarkable debt liquidation campaign breathed new life into the institution and impressed the accrediting association with the school's long-term viability. Debt elimination required a dedicated, united, confi­ dent constituency. That Oregon Ye arly Meeting regained ' • that confidence is perhaps the most significant story in the College's first century. From this renewed constituent sup­ Announcing one of the outstanding events in the College's port came the strength to develop academic quality worthy history.
