It appears this topic hit a chord with many financial aid administrators as we had over 330 registrants for the webinar today.
Here is a link to the archived version of the presentation, in case you missed it. The registration section is at the bottom of the screen. If you are interested in downloading the presentation slides, they are available here: Download Webinar_FFELP_Direct_Lending_V4.
Here were the results of a polling question that we asked the audience regarding their current status (recognize that this is a skewed sample given the topic of the webinar):

I am currently FFELP and undecided about my plans for 2009-10 | 32.23% |
