Sally Mullen has been appointed director of Student Financial Aid at SIUE. Scott Belobrajdic, associate vice chancellor for Enrollment Management, made the announcement in late June.
Mullen earned both bachelor’s and master’s degrees from SIUE. She achieved a bachelor’s in social work 1982 and a master’s in Education Administration 1991.
Mullen has accumulated more than 30 years of financial aid experience. She has served student financial aid since 1988 in various roles including assistant director, associate director and most recently as the interim director.
“Sally was selected following a national search, which attracted a significant number of qualified candidates including several sitting directors of financial aid,” Belobrajdic said. “During the last 12 months, Sally’s team has modified several internal processes to improve service to students.
“During that time, student financial aid has processed aid applications for more than 15,000 students and awarded more than 150 million dollars in assistance to students from all sources.”
Dr. Tim Schoenecker, associate professor of management and marketing in the SIUE School of Business, led the search committee of administrators, faculty and students.
