The 1999 Novice Training Workshop will be held from June 5 through June 11, at the State University College at Plattsburgh in Plattsburgh, New York. This is the twenty-ninth annual workshop which makes it one of the longest continuously running novice workshops in the country. The workshop has been designed for financial aid personnel with less than one year's experience, admissions and enrollment management personnel, as well as, others who would like to gain a complete, comprehensive, understanding of financial aid administration.
Training is structured in formal large group presentations and informal small discussion groups.
The good news is that the cost of the Novice Workshop to the participants has not increased in the past five years. It remains one of the best values for your training dollar. Your transportation worries have been taken care of by the workshop committee. For participants traveling to the workshop by train, there is good news and bad news. Just sit back and enjoy the ride through some of the most picturesque scenery of the Hudson and Champlain Valleys.
