Steve Joyce has worked in the financial aid office at Bowdoin College since 1991 and served as Director of Student Aid from 1999 through 2011. He is experienced in Federal and Institutional Need Analysis, federal and state regulations, and the Federal Work Study Program. He regularly counsels Bowdoin students and parents about financial aid policies and paying college costs.

Before Bowdoin, Steve was the high school principal and director of college counseling at Head-Royce School in Oakland, CA, and previously was the college counselor and a biology teacher at the Rivers School in Weston, MA. He has an M.Ed in Administration, Planning and Social Policy from Harvard University.

Steve has recently been a member of the Financial Aid Advisory Committee of the New England Region of the College Board and is a past-President and active member of the Maine Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators. His volunteer activities include: speaking at high school financial aid nights, presenting on the FAFSA application process, offering tax preparation at the Midcoast Maine CA$H Coalition and providing financial aid counsel for students and parents at local Maine high schools.

Sarita oversees the on-campus student employment program, which employs over a thousand students and incorporates more than two-hundred supervisors. She works closely with on-campus employers of students to list jobs through the Student Employment Website and coordinates with Human Resources and the Controller’s office to ensure student employees are processed through the system in a timely manner.

Sarita kindly agreed to quickly step in until the search for a new manager has been complete. We hope this can be accomplished by the end of March.

During her years of service at Bowdoin Sarita has worked in many academic departments including Career Planning, Res Life, and Student Fellowships and Research.

A Brunswick native, Sarita spends her summers at a second home in Rangeley where she enjoys kayaking, hiking, and volunteering with programs for older seniors and children.
