TG Updates
TG recognizes outgoing advisory committee members, welcomes new members
Listening is a cornerstone of TG’s commitment to customer service — your input helps us make educational access simpler and more productive for all involved. One way TG gathers input is through its Lender and School Advisory Committees. Each year, several financial aid and student lending professionals on the committees complete their two-year terms, and new members take their place. At recent meetings of the Lender and School Advisory Committees, outgoing members were recognized for their contributions, new members were welcomed, and new leadership was elected.
