The U.S. Department of Education requires that you attend a session outlining your rights and responsibilities as a Stafford Loan borrower before you can graduate. This is a great opportunity to provide you valuable information about the loans you have and for you to pose questions to an expert. Kevin Edmunds from American Education Services will present and a short Q and A will follow. Topics covered will include consolidation, repayment and graduate school.
If you are a senior who has borrowed Stafford loans, this session is mandatory.

Whether you are a senior who will soon be leaving Swarthmore and entering into a new and exciting time in your life or an underclass student exploring how to make the most of your summer earnings, this program is for you! We can help you to understand how loans, budgeting, and finances will translate from Swarthmore to the “real world”. Hear from a Certified Financial Planner about budgeting, saving, reducing debt, participating in employer sponsored benefits and more.
All students are welcome to attend.

Recognizing that sexual assault can happen on campus is the first step to increasing overall awareness and fostering a safer environment. In the past few years, the Swarthmore community has worked to raise awareness of issues of sexual violence, with initiatives including the Clothesline Project, the Handprint Project, the SMART Team, and ASAP. The ASAP program plays a crucial role in the development of new students’ attitudes towards sexual assault and increasing awareness.

ASAP workshops are held at the end of the orientation period (Aug. 29–31) and are designed to introduce new students to the issue of sexual assault, prevention tips, and the resources available at Swarthmore for sexual assault prevention. The workshops aim to create an awareness of acquaintance sexual assault and provide a comfortable atmosphere for dialogue about sexual consent.

If you are interested in facilitating and will be returning to campus for the fall semester, please apply with the application below! No experience in facilitation, sexual assault prevention, or health education is necessary. Facilitators work in pairs and arrive the day before the new students for training beginning August 25, 2008. All are encouraged to apply, including RAs, CAs, athletes, and other workshop/orientation participants. We will work with the OC to avoid scheduling conflicts.
