“Participating in this workshop series was a learning experience,” said Fayne Griffiths. “I’m very happy to have had the opportunity to work with so many Portland-area administrators and managers, and I’m excited to bring back new skills and outlooks to the office to utilize in my everyday leadership and management.”

As the needs of students, and especially the size of their loans, change, it’s important to stay on top of new developments in order to provide them with the most up to date knowledge, advice, and service.”
