Subj:    FAFSA Update Q&A session, Wednesday, May 1, 9:30 a.m.

Dear colleagues:
As you know too well by now, the FAFSA Simplification rollout landscape is shifting beneath our feet almost daily.
SBCTC teams are actively engaging with their respective councils and commissions to explore the most effective path forward, recognizing that success in this endeavor relies on the collective wisdom and collaboration of the entire college community.
I am asking presidents and chancellors to bring together finance, instruction, institutional research - everyone! - to support and empower their financial aid and student services teams through this unprecedented moment.
Please join us for a one-hour FAFSA Q&A session via Zoom on Wednesday, May 1, 9:30 a.m.
The meeting details are attached and below my signature.
Agenda

  *   Overview: With recent updates certain to raise as many questions as they answer, Dani Bundy will provide an overview of the FAFSA landscape specific to our colleges as it stands on Wednesday, May 1.
