28. Team C4C in the IE… Thank you for allowing us to really impact FAFSA completion in the IE. We did it!!! we called all students in the database. We also called students whose paper exit surveys we had. The team helped sooooo many students even up until today. It was unbelievable how many still had not finished, had not completed because of taxes not being done, or didn't know that the deadline was today - both FAFSA and Dream Act...lots of one-on-one. Many stories of grateful parents and students. Elena Carrasco, IE Regional CFC Coordinator
