*** Please note that at this point, you will make a transition
from colleges and universities to community colleges and adult

We all know that there are many people in this country who
choose, for lots of different reasons, to return to school later
in life. Now I would like to turn to several of our participants

what they did.

College in Fort Prairie, Florida. He received his advanced
degrees, from Indian River Community College, with the help of a

community colleges could do to reach out to potential students?

decision to return to school SO that you could get a better job.

your education. What motivated you to become a national service
volunteer?

competitive?

economic future. As you travel around the world, what are some
of the lessons you think we could learn from other countries?

America.
Mr. Russo, I understand that the Communications Workers of

Karen Fooks - Financial Aid Director of the University of
Florida. Ms. Fooks has been recommended as one of the most
knowledgeable people in the country regarding issues of financial
aid. She has been quoted as saying: "The student aid programs
on our campus were broken beyond repair. Because we are so large
and our population so diverse, we were dealing with approximately
35 guarantee agencies and nearly 200 different lenders, each of
which had different policies, forms and deadlines. We had
totally lost control of the program and were operating in a
management by exception model, only more students were the
exception than the norm. Inordinate amounts of time were spent
manually processing or reprocessing." In her presentation, Ms.
Fooks will focus on the direct lending program and its impact on
students and staff at the University of Florida.
John Clendenin - Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of Bell South, the largest of the Regional Bell
