MASFAA Summer Institute 2015 Headed to Indianapolis

(by Marvin Smith and Karla Weber, MASFAA Summer Institute Co-Chairs)

Happy New Year from your MASFAA Summer Institute committee! As you make plans for the 2015 year ahead we encourage you to think about a training plan for the new aid administrators in your office. If you are a new (or newer) financial aid administrator, let your supervisor know that you want to go to Indianapolis June 1 through 5, 2015 to experience a MASFAA tradition—one of the greatest things MASFAA offers to the membership—the MASFAA Summer Institute.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) Campus

The MASFAA Summer Institute, or “SI”, is a tradition that has provided hundreds of aid professionals across the Midwest a solid training background in financial aid fundamentals. Maybe even more importantly, SI provides participants the opportunity to network and learn from colleagues across the Midwest—and develop professional relationships that may last a lifetime.

Participants will learn from expert MASFAA faculty, have the opportunity to become NASFAA credentialed in certain areas—and have some fun along the way. Participants will live and learn on the dynamic campus of Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). Those that have been around MASFAA for a while may remember that Butler University hosted quite a few MASFAA SI events. So the MASFAA SI tradition continues in 2015 in Indianapolis.

Downtown Indianapolis

Indianapolis is a city that embraces something called “Hoosier Hospitality”. Indianapolis is proud to host events from Big Ten sports championships to Super Bowl XLVI—and now MASFAA SI in 2015. So mark your calendars for the first week of June 2015 and watch for registration information to be announced in the coming months.

To help folks understand what MASFAA SI is all about we would like to ask MASFAA SI alumni out there to post a comment and let readers know what made MASFAA SI a great experience for you—and when and where you attended. You can also tweet comments with the hashtag #myMASFAA. Thank you!
