As shared today by Michael J. Bennett, associate vice president of financial assistance services at St. Petersburg College, in NASFAA's News, take a few moments to enjoy this inspiring article.
In part, Mr. Bennett, Past NASFAA National Chair, notes, "We live and work in very challenging and stressful times, in a wonderful profession. We need to be vigilant, to tend to ourselves, our staff, our students, [and] each other. Look for the opportunities to lend a hand, be a mentor and re-ignite the gifts of a colleague … be a financial aid whisperer."
As many of us close our work week, I especially noticed where Mr. Bennett said, "I have been mentored by many and stand on many shoulders." To those of you who are new to the profession, look for those shoulders upon which you can stand. Many of us are here for your support. To those of us who have been in the profession for longer, be that mentor, and have strong shoulders upon which newbies can depend. Our profession is only as strong as we are.
Have a great weekend and a happy Valentine's day.
