computer help
Hello fellow alums!
I am in need of some basic computer management for my mac as well as some instruction on lightroom. I have a MacBook air that is about 4 years old. I think I need help managing my storage and learning some basics about images to submit for shows and fellowships.
Please let me know your rate and a link to your website and/or IG.
Thank you,
Emily Jane

Three options for student loan forgiveness
Hello! I am about a year away from student loan forgiveness from my MFA, even though I have been doing work in the public sector unrelated to my fine arts degree. I wanted to make sure SFAI alumni were aware that this program is a legit option for your art school loans! Despite the recent Supreme Court ruling, there are still three programs that could pertain to SFAI students with student loan debt:
Closed school discharge of student loans - If you were enrolled or withdrew from SFAI in its final years, you may be eligible for this program:
https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/closed-school
Teacher loan forgiveness - If you have taught full time for 5 years at a primary or secondary school, you can apply for this:
https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/teacher
Public service loan forgiveness - 120 loan payments while working in the public or non-profit sector qualifies you for this, even if it is work not related to your degree! I used this for my public university teaching and research.
https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/public-service
In my experience, employers are happy to process these forms for their employees and the online registration process is fairly easy. Please look into it and see if you are eligible! These programs might not be around forever.
Be well,
