The information age is presenting unique challenges to student financial aid professionals charged with assuring the security of personal information. The growing popularity and convenience of processing student loans and other financial transactions electronically has simultaneously created an increased concern for the protection of consumer information, including Social Security numbers. Recent surges in identity theft as well as heightened national security concerns have made this an increasingly relevant issue.

To assist student financial aid professionals in enhancing their knowledge of privacy-related issues, TG will host a free telephone conference entitled "Protecting Social Security Numbers in Student Financial Aid." The conference will include an overview of the topic, points of consideration, and additional resources related to consumer privacy in the student loan industry. A brief question-and-answer session will follow the conference. Questions may be submitted in advance of the event to sheila.casey@tgslc.org.
