Wednesday, April 13 from 1 to 2 p.m. via Zoom
Do you have federal student loan debt? As an HVCC employee, you may be eligible for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF). This informational session will help clarify some of the changes under the PSLF waiver (which expires Oct. 31, 2022) and how you might now qualify for the program under this limited-time waiver. Some examples: Previously I was denied because I had the wrong type of loan—can I qualify? Possibly! I only work part-time jobs—can I qualify? Sure! I was denied because I was in the wrong payment plan—what about me? Yes, you can also qualify! This session will offer updated information and resources to help you determine if you are eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness and what steps you need to take to enroll in the PSLF program.

Signs of Our Time: The Sequel – Monday, April 25 from 12:30 to 2 p.m., via Zoom

Tips and tricks will be included as a reminder to help all students when teaching in the classroom or on Zoom. Many of us get into a habit of using what works for us as teachers, yet does that methodology work for our students? Sometimes we need to simplify our teaching methods to stay in touch with our audience.
