Jack Cannon has been inducted into the Utah Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators Hall of Fame. Cannon served as director of financial aid at SUSC for 21 years prior to moving to his present position in July 1988 as the colleges director of placement and student employment. SUSC had a student body of 1,600 when Cannon joined the staff in 1967. The total financial aid package grants, loans, student employment and scholarships came to approximately enrollment increased to $475,000 that school year. By 1987-88- , nearly 3,000 students and the financial aid total was $5,600,000. Cannon was honored at a UASFAA conference held recently at the Salt Lake Hilton. His citation was written by SUSC Vice President for Student Services Sterling R. Church and read by Assistant Director of Financial Aid Dale Orton. For many years, Church said, Cannon directed the financial aid office without the assistance of additional professional staff. His seemingly superhuman effort allowed thousands of students to enroll and continue in college when it would not have been possible otherwise, Church said. It is nothing short of miraculous that for those many years and legion changes in governmental requirements and guidelines that Jack never had a bad audit. Cannon attributes the successful operation to help from a For many years the capable staff meant one fullcapable staff. time contract secretary, he said. An excellent half-timsecretary e financial aid joined the staff 10 years ago, and another assistant came on board a few years later. The award presentation, Orton said, was a family occasion. My time in financial aid was very much a family experience, Cannon said, because I had the fine support of my wife and children. Cannon was born in Washington, D.C., and graduated from high school in southern New Jersey. He earned a bachelors degree in economics at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, and a masters degree in human development, family relations and psychology at Brigham Young University. He left a position with Mobil Oil Company in New York City to accept employment at SUSC. While at SUSC, he has seved in a number of financial aid associations including president of the UASFAA and of the SUSC Staff Association. Both of Cannons SUSC appointments have been student oriented. Primary emphasis is on service to students in both positions, he said. The major difference is that financial aid helps students get into college and earn a degree, and placement helps them become more employable and more successful as they leave SUSC. e full-tim- Geology field trips set A float trip on the Colorado River below Hoover Dam and field trips to Death Valley and Quartzite, Ariz., the rock and mineral capital of the world, are planned this quarter by the physical science department at SUSC.
