Hello California!
If you have people new in the Financial Aid industry in your office, needing some advanced FA training, or that work with clock-hour programs, this is the time to get them signed up for the Sister Dale Brown Summer Institute.
This year's Summer Institute will be held at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon. Basic Track is June 23-28, 2013, and both the Intermediate & Clock Hour Tracks will be June 26-28, 2013.
Transportation:
Transportation from the airport to campus is easy and affordable thanks to Portland's MAX system. It's just $2.50 each way (and about a 40 minute ride). Here's the website if you'd like to explore the MAX system: http://trimet.org/max/. You can always use a taxi or shuttle service, but they will be considerably more expensive.
Housing:
For those staying on campus, we'll be staying in the Broadway dormitory. If you'd like to see the room, you can tour the room at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-8GGAQM0h8. Bedding and a towel are provided, and you will need to bring all toiletries as this is a dorm not a hotel. All of the rooms have a kitchenette should you choose to keep snacks or beverages in your room. Note that no kitchen supplies or utensils are provided.
