Lisa Bell |
Lisa Bell is a Counselor in the Office of Financial Aid. She works very closely with our diverse student population to assist them with funds for college here at ETSU. She is sought out as a Counselor to assist minority students with referrals from Stephanie Murphy, Advisor, and Mary Jordan, Special Assistant to the President, because they know of her years of knowledge in the financial aid field and her talent for finding extra funds when available. She has a talent of helping students understand the rules and regulations as set forth by the federal government. If they apply too late for funds, she works with them to teach them the importance of applying much earlier the next year. She attends countless outside programs and workshops for minority students where she is a presenter and encourages these students and families to attend ETSU. Many of these programs are beyond office hours taking place during her weekend family time. She works closely with offices on campus to
assist them with their own diversity of students.
Lisa designed and maintains the website for the financial aid office. This entails constant updates due to changes in federal regulations and the cycle of activities within the office. She is very diligent in making sure that correct information is reported in a timely and on-going manner to promote awareness of financial aid matters.
Even while being a busy wife and mother of two small children, Lisa is now working on her MALS degree. She works hard for our students and our university to encourage diversity and is truly an outspoken advocate in the effort to combat bigotry, discrimination and oppression.
Thank you, Lisa, for being with us here at ETSU !
