"Lifting the Veil on Enrollment Management," a collection of essays edited by Stephen Burd, a senior writer and editor with New America’s education policy program, argues the need for greater transparency in enrollment management and the urgency of that effort. This is not a "how-to" guide for optimizing enrollment; it is a "what-are-we-doing" exposé. Steven J. McDowell, associate vice president for financial aid services and Title IV compliance, Connecticut State Community College, shares his opinions of its contents. What follows are his takeaways, thoughts, and reflections.

Federal Student Aid (FSA) on Monday announced that it is seeking volunteer financial aid professionals to provide feedback, ideas, and expertise on FSA partner products and services. Specifically, FSA is looking for feedback on Partner Connect, the FAFSA Partner Portal, the FAFSA Processing System, along with other services that support Title IV administration. Those interested can sign up to be added to a list that FSA may contact for future user interviews, surveys, and usability testing.

Institutions are being asked to do more with less — and the sweeping changes introduced under the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” have dramatically increased complexity, workload, and compliance risks for financial aid offices, often without a corresponding increase in staffing or resources. In this practical, strategy-focused webinar, on April 7, we’ll explore how to effectively advocate for outsourced services and external support to connect regulatory changes, operational bottlenecks, and student impact in ways that resonate with executive leadership and budget decision-makers.
