Nebraska
Dale Oberlander recently resigned from Western Nebraska Community College. We wish him best of luck in his future endeavors.
Montana
Haven Gourneau, Financial Aid Director at Fort Peck Community College, became a Grandmother on December 6, 2001 when her daughter Mauri gave birth to Dusette Lloyd Louis Grandchamp.
The MSU-Billings Financial Aid Office had one retirement and one employee leave for bigger bucks. Donna Bernhardt who worked at the College of Technology campus retired the end of December. Kalie Porter found a higher paying and less stressful place to work than financial aid; she is now employed with Business Operations (U-Card, vending, food plans). We think she will be bored soon, but she thinks she can handle "boring" for a while. Both of these ladies will be greatly missed by our staff and the students.
