After hearing about the biggest change to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in 40 years, Missouri’s higher education institutions are joining to explain it.
During an annual awards breakfast hosted by the University of Central Missouri Staff Council, two individuals who have made a positive impact on the institution through work and volunteerism were recognized for their outstanding contributions to UCM. Charissa Davis, assistant director of financial aid, was honored as the 2022 recipient of J.P. Mees Outstanding Professional Staff Award and Gwena Basinger, administrative assistant to the dean in the Harmon College of Business and Professional Studies, was named recipient of the Outstanding Staff Award.
