OGSLP Names Interim Executive Director

As noted in the September edition of OGSLP's Online News, Mary Mowdy is retiring after 14 years with the agency and three decades of service in higher education and financial aid. Tomorrow is her last day with OGSLP. She will be deeply missed.

We're pleased to share with you that Rick Edington, OGSLP's Director for School/Lender Services, Default Prevention & Outreach, will serve as Interim Executive Director effective Oct. 1.

Rick has been with OGSLP for over 20 years. In his current role, he works to ensure our school and lender customers receive high quality service and useful products to enhance the federal student loan borrowing experience. His work also involves development of strategies, tools and best practices in the area of default prevention, and he shares responsibility for OGSLP's outreach initiatives and programs with Angela Caddell, Director for Communications, Financial Education & Outreach. Rick has strong relationships within the Oklahoma student aid community and solid guaranty agency operational knowledge. He has co-chaired the NCHELP Program Operations committee for several years, served on a variety of other NCHELP committees and workgroups and facilitates the Oklahoma Lender Advisory Council (OLAC).

We look forward to Rick's interim leadership and to continued collaboration with our campus and industry partners!
