Robert Muhammad, Student Financial Aid and Scholarships Executive Director at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University

The student experience starts with financial aid. For too long, financial aid offices have been seen as barriers rather than allies. In this recorded session, join Robert Muhammad, seasoned change agent and transformative leader at institutions like Winston-Salem State, Howard University, and now North Carolina Agriculture & Technical State University, as he shares practical strategies for shifting culture, elevating service, and leading with empathy.

We’ll explore:

  • Why financial aid offices are often misunderstood and how to change the narrative
  • Hallmarks of a student-centered culture (and how to build one)
  • Hiring and staff development strategies that align with mission and mindset
  • How outsourcing can support – not replace – your team
  • Real-world wins from campuses that have made the shift

Whether you’re facing resource constraints, staff burnout, or student dissatisfaction, this conversation will give you actionable ideas and renewed energy to lead change with purpose.

Bring your questions and your curiosity - we'll respond after the webinar!
