Congratulations to our new President-Elect Corben cox and treasurer/secretary Jenn Arnold!
My name is Corben Cox and I currently serve as the Assistant Director of Admissions Financial Aid at Southern Utah University. I have worked in this role for a year now, with previous years of experience as a Financial Aid intern. I am currently working on my Masters of Public Administration with an emphasis in Nonprofit Management, but enough with the boring stuff! I am an animal lover with 15 chickens, an axolotl, and a dalmatian sharing my home. I love to mountain bike, and am currently reading Frankenstein before I move onto Dune. I already bought all six books so I have no other choice, wish me luck! I have a love for Financial Aid for not only what it has done for my life, but for the magic of how it can tremendously change a student's trajectory for the rest of their life. With that, thank you for getting to know me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to represent and promote these ideals throughout the state!
Jennifer “Jenn” Arnold is the Assistant Director of Financial Aid and Scholarships at Weber State University. Prior to Weber State, she worked as the Assistant to the Registrar & Dean of Students at Western Wyoming Community College in Wyoming. She brings more than two decades of experience in business, office management, customer service, and public relations, and she is excited for the opportunity to serve in UASFAA.
Jenn grew up in Morgan, Utah, and is “Mom” to a blended family of 10 kids. She also answers to “Mimi” for 14 grandchildren who keep her young, busy and slightly crazy at times. She and her husband, Mark, enjoy traveling, tackling home projects, and savoring quiet evenings together (which, after raising 10 kids, feels like winning the lottery).
She is an extroverted-introvert whose favorite things include (in no particular order): sunshine, music, chocolate, cooking, humor, rom-coms and naps.
