Financial Aid News, New Hires

July 5, 2019

According to financial aid director Janet Turner, the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators’ launch of the new Certified Financial Aid Administrator (CFAA) Program is making waves as a boost to the financial aid profession, with 75 individuals across the nation recently earning their professional certification in the last several months, including our very own Heather Hall Lewis, associate director of financial aid.

Your Feel-Good Story For Today: Kitten Rescue!

November 16, 2018

A report from Heidi Keller, financial aid: “Today when Janet Turner and I went out for our walk, we bumped into another University of Portland employee (I wish I knew his name), and he said “Hey, look at that kitten under the car.” When we looked the kitten had climbed up into the engine compartment. Janet and I walked into the Beauchamp Center to write a note to the owner of the car and let them know about the kitten. On the main drive we ran into Lori Watson from the controller’s office and asked if she was going to the Beauchamp Center, and she said yes, so we told her about the kitten. When I got to my office I ran into Manu Jauregui, one of our wonderful public safety officers, and I asked him if he could save the kitten. He located the student, asked her to come to her car, had her pop the hood, then reached in and rescued this little gem. The happy ending is that Lori decided to adopt the kitten and took it home with her!” Thanks for caring, Heidi and Janet and Manu and Lori, we do indeed have a remarkably wonderful crew here.
