“I have worked at Sallie Mae for just over 2 years. When I was searching for a new position, I was attracted by the integrity that I saw Sallie Mae. When I interviewed for the position, I arrived early, sat in the lobby, and watched employees arrive to work. Every employee, arriving either alone or in a group, had a smile as they walked in the door. I believe that smile was due to their sense of accomplishment in being able to help provide funding for higher education.”

In Indiana, jobs are on the line.
With the economy in the doldrums, it is getting harder and harder for people to find a job. But here in Indiana, there are well-paying jobs that are in jeopardy, and it is not because of the weak economy. Politicians in Washington D.C. are considering legislation that would make all student loans government run, which could take
hundreds of jobs out of Indiana.
We strongly support the President’s call for student loan reform. But we can achieve smart, effective reform that’s in the best interest of students, parents, and schools without sacrificing jobs here.
