Greetings!

Are you ready for the annual portfolio review?  It is that time of year again.  Remember that if you have questions or are unsure what to send, your advisor is ready to help.  You can also call 1-800-882-2828 with some quick questions.  We want to make sure that you feel supported in every way as you finalize the year of study.  Also consider teaming up with the student.  We would welcome as much student contact as possible during the portfolio review season.
