One week ago, I graduated with my Master of Education in Higher Ed Leadership. All the stress, sweat, and tears earned me a 4.0 final GPA. My son & I deserve this. We did it! 😁💙

[KRISTIAN, M.Ed. @KrisInHigherEd]

A thing happened today! I can't lie... I have put some much effort toward earning this M.Ed. So, congrats to me! 🎉

It has been a while since I have used this account, but I do want to use my platform (lol) for the public good.

A7: #NationalFAFSAHelpDay - can this be a thing? #StudentsCantWaitChat

[KRISTIAN, M.Ed. @KrisInHigherEd]

A8: I would want a high schooler reading these tweets to know that you are able to go to college, no matter your socioeconomic status! #HigherEd4All #StudentsCantWaitChat

[KRISTIAN, M.Ed. @KrisInHigherEd]

A7: More #FAFSAHelp sessions throughout the year at high schools, community centers, and higher ed institutions! PSAs on the radio, social media, everywhere ppl are watching. #StudentsCantWaitChat

[KRISTIAN, M.Ed. @KrisInHigherEd]

A6: There should be a #FAFSAHelp Specialist at the public libraries and other government buildings. Increase funding for high school Go Centers and College Readiness workers. #StudentsCantWaitChat

[KRISTIAN, M.Ed. @KrisInHigherEd]

A5: #FinAid advisors/administrators should be sympathetic to the fact that not all students (& their families) are aware of the #FAFSA and how the process works. #StudentsCantWaitChat

[KRISTIAN, M.Ed. @KrisInHigherEd]

A5: More accessible information for the #FAFSA and how to complete it. #FinAid professionals should be "pounding the pavement" trying to get students to apply for aid. Plain & simple, more info, more presentations! #StudentsCantWaitChat

[KRISTIAN, M.Ed. @KrisInHigherEd]

A4: Students are also often surprised when they are selected for verification, and they assume that they are the only ones. #NotJustYou They often question if they did something wrong on the #FAFSA and sometimes, the answer is yes, lol. #StudentsCantWaitChat

[KRISTIAN, M.Ed. @KrisInHigherEd]

A4: When I help students complete the #FAFSA, they are often surprised by how quickly I can get them through it without it seeming difficult. #StudentsCantWaitChat

[KRISTIAN, M.Ed. @KrisInHigherEd]

A3: Students often feel the application is too complex, and they either are afraid to ask questions or don't know the correct questions to ask. #StudentsCantWaitChat

[KRISTIAN, M.Ed. @KrisInHigherEd]

A2: Financial aid is important because students should be able to obtain a degree/certificate regardless of the price tag of tuition & fees. Financial stress should be the least of a student's worries. #StudentsCantWaitChat

Visionary - (especially of a person) thinking about or planning the future with imagination or wisdom.

Whenever I am asked to describe myself, this is always one of the words I use.
