Do you have a favorite series of Jim’s Blog that you follow? What else would you like us to blog about? Do you have a co-worker you think deserves being recognized? Have you implemented a program on your campus that is successful? Would others benefit from your knowledge or something your office has done? It could even be something not directly related to financial aid. Maybe professional development, community involvement, etc.
If you have an idea for a blog series, please share that with us by Friday, February 3rd. You may comment here on this blog post or you may contact your Regional Director. Once we get ideas, we will take a poll. The series that receives the most votes will be a regular series on Jim’s Blog for 2012, and the person who submits the winning idea will be featured. We look forward to hearing from you!
