Campus is Buzzing
I am not talking about the bees, although they are really enjoying all the new planting around campus. I am talking about the buzz of excitement from our students, faculty, and staff with only a week left in the semester and finals quickly approaching. Semester-long projects are being finalized and last-minute help-sessions in the Learning Commons are taking place.
It is also fun to see the new allied health students going through orientation and learning where their lab rooms are, getting their student id's, and buying NHTI swag from the bookstore. Their joy is contagious.
I hope you will join me in some of this excitement by attending one of the upcoming public capstone events. We will be posting projects on the web site at the end of the semester so if you are unable to attend in person, you can still celebrate our students. Keep an eye on our web site and social media pages for information about attending our upcoming commencement ceremonies virtually.

Expanded Student Loan Debt Relief
The Biden administration has taken multiple actions to make it easier for federal student loan borrowers to receive debt forgiveness that they may already be entitled to under existing programs.
Actions may impact borrowers in the income-driven repayment program, borrowers who have loans that are in forbearance, borrowers whose payments have been miscounted, borrowers seeking public service loan forgiveness, and borrowers that do not qualify for relief.
The Biden administration also announced an extension of the federal student loan payment pause, delaying the repayment of student loans until August 31. The payment pause was previously slated to end May 1.
