In the highly competitive student loan market, a new lender trying to get a bite at the apple has a couple of options. The safe but slow route is to try to persuade college financial aid directors — who are often gatekeepers to the lenders' potential customers, the students — to recommend them, formally or informally. With a series of eye-catching full-page ads in The New York Times and USA Today and a strategy of undercutting other lenders on its base rates for federal student loans, a new company called MyRichUncle has chosen the alternative route: seeking to win over individual borrowers.

DURANT, Okla. -- Southeastern Oklahoma State University has named Nolbert Reyna as the Student Activities Specialist at the University.
Reyna graduated from DeLeon (Texas) High School, where he played tennis and participated in a number of organizations.
He is a graduate of Tarleton State University with a degree in International Business. Reyna was heavily involved in activities on campus and was a member of the Executive Board of Tarleton Alternative Transportation. He was instrumental in starting this program, which was a designated driving program for the students.
Reyna said he has decided to switch careers, having started out in the banking business.
"I was involved in banking all through college," Reyna said. "After graduation, I was a full-time Mortgage Loan Officer Trainee and I realized banking wasn't the career path for me."
Reyna said one of his goals is to increase and improve Greek life at Southeastern.
