This week in a special episode of “Off the Cuff,” the fun with FAFSA never stops! Justin, Karen, and Allie dive into the latest news surrounding the 2024-25 FAFSA timeline that is leading many higher education advocates and students to grow increasingly concerned about the impending time crunch for the annual aid cycle.

Congratulations to those elected by their colleagues to serve the association during the 2024-25 program year! Heidi Carl was elected to serve as National Chair for 2025-26 and will serve as National Chair-Elect for 2024-25. Sarah Everitt, Steven McDowell, and Christal Williams were elected to serve as Representatives-at-Large during the 2024-25 and 2025-26 years. We sincerely thank all candidates and members who voted in this year's election! 

Each year throughout the month of February, the higher education community, including NASFAA, celebrates Financial Aid Awareness Month, in an effort to provide crucial information to students and families about access to federal, state, and institutional student aid. This year, we want to know how you — financial aid administrators on the ground who see students day in and day out — are spreading awareness. Need some ideas? Utilize social media to spread the word, lead a Q&A session for prospective college students, or host a virtual meet-and-greet for students to interact with your office. Be sure to keep NASFAA in the loop by sharing about your Financial Aid Awareness Month efforts and events on Twitter using the hashtag #FinAidFeb, and by posting photos on our Facebook page.

Please join us in congratulating Jessi Asberry and Robert Fishkind, FAAC®, on their new jobs. Congratulations to Robert Hamilton, Monique Foster, Lauren Pickering, Kaila Sharo, Joann Maino, Dawn Januszkiewicz, Amber Johnson, and Oscar Ortiz on their promotions. Get the full details on our Movers & Shakers page. Celebrate your own career developments by completing the "Movers and Shakers" form to share the news with your colleagues.
