A Message from our President
Anthony Morrone
Director of Financial Aid
Nevada State College
Summer Greetings, WASFAA!
I hope that you have been able to spend some restful moments with family and friends, in whatever way 2020 permits. This past holiday weekend, I took the opportunity to watch Hamilton for the first time. Without spoiling anything for those who have not seen it – or diminishing it for those who have – all vocal and dance performances aside, the founding fathers are portrayed as fallible men, often with moral shortcomings and dubious motivations, faced with an uncertain future and with no precedent for how to establish a new nation.
SDBSI 2020 Campfire Series

The goal of this webinar is to create space to exchange ideas, learn, and collaborate on how to continue to provide excellent service in our current reality.
Rebekah Hoppel Salcedo Leadership Development Program
WASFAA is excited to launch the Rebekah Hoppel Salcedo Leadership Development Program. This program will expand your knowledge base after the Jerry R.
