Take a moment to write an email, e-card, or traditional “thank you” card to that professor, RA, tutor, supervisor, or another influential person. Try to be specific as you describe how this person has contributed to your life.

We get it: You have a lot going on at the moment. The Thanksgiving holiday is right around the corner, followed by finals and the end of the semester. But alas, it is also time to start thinking about your financial aid for next year (or even next semester).

The good news is, we want to help! The financial aid office is offering a “Help Me Hangout” in Canyon Commons 101 from 8:30 a.m. to noon on Thursday, Nov. 18. We will have coffee, donut holes from Sesame Donuts, and cookies for anyone who stops by.

Whether you have a quick question about financial aid, need help with your FAFSA, or are looking for scholarship applications, we want to see you. You can pop in for a quick minute as you’re passing through, or you can sit with us and work while you wait between classes.

Grab a roommate or friend, your laptop, and come see us so you can get your financial aid taken care of for next year and enjoy your upcoming break!
