Student debt sessions continue at union

Members continue to take advantage of the free student debt counseling sessions held at DC 37.

"I saw some information about it at my job, so I decided to come check it out," said Local 1549 member Angela Frink at the Feb. 17 session. "It's been extremely helpful."

Frink was joined for the Wednesday evening session by 75 members and Assistant Associate Director Jamila K. Joseph and Assistant Director Chris Maisano from the Research and Negotiations Dept. who shared with the members various resources to help them reduce their student debt. Joseph has been pleased by the response to the sessions, which began in September.

"It's been great and the members always ask a lot of good questions," Joseph said. "We're happy to be able to help them with this issue."

Additional workshops will be held during the spring. Interested members can check the union's website at www.dc37.net. Click on the student debt counseling program link for dates and times of upcoming workshops. Workshops are free, but you should sign up in advance.
