Financial Aid Professionals Participate in TG Leadership Symposium

Round Rock, Texas — Fifteen student financial aid administrators from three states participated in a week-long leadership symposium in which TG provided training on leadership skills within the context of a campus financial aid office.

The 15-person class completed the second annual Financial Aid Leadership Symposium Feb. 5-9 at TG's campus. The training focused on core leadership competencies such as vision, building trust, communication, team building and coaching skills.

Tom Rebstock, a TG senior trainer and coordinator of the symposium, said that the program is tailored specifically for managers in college financial aid operations who seek leading-edge professional development opportunities.

"These are people who have been identified as high performers in their financial aid offices," Rebstock said. "This symposium allows them the opportunity to further develop their sphere of influence in their organization and within the student financial aid industry."

The participants were from:

• Angelo State University
• New England College (Henniker, N.H.)
• Sam Houston State University
• Southern Methodist University
• St. Phillips College (San Antonio, TX)
• Temple (TX) College
• Texas A&M University
