Helping students and parents through the labyrinth of opportunity and obligation that goes along with paying for college is no easy task. With that in mind, Central Methodist University has hired an expert in the field as its next director of financial aid – Brenda Krehbiel.
Krehbiel, of Columbia, has been working in higher education and financial aid for nearly 30 years. Most recently she has been a financial aid compliance analyst and an assistant director of financial aid at William Woods University. She was previously a director of financial aid at both McPherson College and Newman University.
“We’re happy to have Brenda on the team,” said Dr. Joe Parisi, vice president for enrollment management. “Brenda brings a compliance-oriented skillset to the table, and has many other great attributes that make her a good fit for our institution.”
Krehbiel, who has an MBA from Newman University and a bachelor’s degree from Bethel College, said she was looking forward to her new opportunity.
“I am excited to be a part of the CMU family,” Krehbiel said. “There is a lot of growth happening at CMU and I look forward to being in that environment.”
Krehbiel’s outside hobbies including singing and track officiating. She said she looks forward to Chorale and Conservatory Singers events, and watching the CMU Eagles track team in action.
