Speakers included Kristy Smith, programs and communications manager at the foundation; Carolyn Cox, financial aid director at Hagerstown Community College; and Susan Erb, associate director of financial aid at Hood College. 

Feedback from attendees was positive, and led to a second workshop being scheduled for Thursday at the foundation, which is at 41 S. Washington St. in Hagerstown.
