Hello Anna!
I asked ChatGPT to help me with an Alliance '25 session proposal – as you say, I was trying to be brief.
My prompt was: Can you make the following professional conference session proposal to sound more engaging while keeping it professional?
I gave it:
Recently it seems that the people who maintain the financial aid module of our Student Information Systems have been particularly needy, intense, picky, edgy...pick your favorite adjective. If you'd like to understand more about what's going on and what drives the financial aid community, I'd love to explain it to you. Along the way, we'll laugh and maybe you'll have an idea or two how to tap into the detail-oriented nature of a financial aid business analyst.
We'll start with the timing of the Financial Aid Regulatory Releases for the US and what is contained in each one, move on to what security changes could be needed for each release, and then talk more generally about some of the stresses that come into play.
I will leave ample time so you can ask me anything about financial aid: things that mystify you, things that annoy you... Really, ask me anything. I won't be offended!
ChatGPT came back with:
Are you curious about the ins and outs of the financial aid module in your student information systems? Do you find yourself wondering why financial aid professionals seem perpetually on edge? Join this for a session that promises to shed light on these questions and more, all while keeping the atmosphere engaging and light-hearted.
In this session, we'll kick off by diving into the timing and contents of Financial Aid Regulatory Releases for the US, breaking down what each release entails. Next, we'll explore the security changes that might be necessary with each update, and we'll wrap up with a broader discussion on the pressures and challenges that come with the financial aid landscape.
But that's not all! This isn't just a lecture-it's an interactive experience. I'll be available to field your questions, whether they're about the mysteries of financial aid, common annoyances, or anything else you've been dying to ask. Your curiosity is welcome, and no question is off-limits.
Join a session that blends professional insight with a touch of humor and plenty of opportunities for lively discussion. I look forward to unraveling the complexities of financial aid with you and maybe even sharing a laugh or two along the way!
Not bad, eh?
Cheers,
Jessica
