NEW HIRES:
Rachel Elswick is a new counselor at VT. She began in July
and her previous experience was at National College of
Business in Roanoke. She is a welcome addition in serving our
large population of aid applicants and has many "light-bulb"
moments as she observes our processes and how they compare to
her previous experiences!
Jennifer Rudisill, a new assistant counselor, has transferred
from the Office of the University Bursar to OSFA at VT.
Jennifer previously managed the day-to-day activities of the
Federal Perkins Program and was absolutely certain from her
experience that her future "calling" is the financial aid
profession! It is always exciting to meet a newcomer to this
profession that has caught the fever to prove success in
helping students.
Heather Francis, a new assistant counselor, also transferred
from the Office of the University Bursar to OSFA at VT.
Heather has served as a cashier and coordinated training
activities for the cashiers at VT. On her first day on the
job, Heather began to demonstrate her organizational strength
- as she is being trained, she is updating the assistant
counselors desk-top notebooks on procedures!

families and is particularly attentive to the unique needs of
each situation presented. She looks forward to new challenges
