Summary of Activities:
I am pleased to report that an extremely successful 2006 MASFAA Summer Institute was conducted on the campus of Baldwin Wallace College from Saturday June 17th through Thursday June 22nd, 2006.

We had a total of 87 attendees representing the many facets of our profession to include college access staff, lenders and guarantors, and numerous financial aid professionals from the MASFAA region and beyond. A total of 8 participants commuted daily from the greater Cleveland area, while the remaining 79 participants utilized the on-campus resident hall accommodations.

Facilitating the training activities was a faculty of seasoned MASFAA professionals including: Zina Haywood, Gateway Technical College, Jamie Malone, US Department of Education, Lawrence Matthews, Bluffton University, Cynthia Van Pelt, Eastern Michigan University, Michele Wade, The Ohio State University, and Dave Woodward, Education Finance Partners. Working behind the scenes to ensure smooth daily operation of the workshop was our dedicated Site Committee which included Val Kepner, Oberlin College, Michiale Schneider, USA Funds Services and Cheryl Willard, Baldwin- Wallace College. A special note of thanks go to our guest speakers: Howard Thomas, Walsh College, Tally Hart, The Ohio State University, Terry Everson, Student Loan Xpress, Brad Meyer, The Ohio State University, and Roger Eldridge, Student Loan Xpress for sharing with the group their expertise.

The Institute also appears to have been a financial success when reviewing the following:
