Shoreline Community College is making a leadership change in the Financial Aid department. Ted Haase, the department director, has left the college effective today, Jan. 29, 2014.
“Financial aid is an incredibly important facet in our efforts to increase student recruitment and retention,” Executive Director for Business and Student Support Services Stuart Trippel said. “While not all of our students receive aid, those who do must be able to rely on an efficient, customer-focused approach to the delivery of these vital services.”
Until a new director is on board, administrative oversight for the Financial Aid department will be provided by Registrar Chris Melton. Staff in the department will continue to report directly to Kristi Kallander, a Program Specialist 3.
“We have a highly knowledgeable and dedicated staff in our Financial Aid department,” Trippel said. “I appreciate the complexity of what they do and their commitment to serving students. We need to be able to make the maze of requirements and regulations readily accessible to our students and parents, while in no way sacrificing the integrity of program administration.”
Recruitment for a new director will begin immediately, Trippel said.
