“Working with the team at FATV has been an amazing experience! They are quick to respond, easy to work with, supportive, and, most importantly, invested in the success of not just your college but your students as well,” said Tammera M. Shinar, Director, Financial Aid and Veterans Services at Butte College. “Their commitment to making the FATV product an extension of college resources makes it an extremely valuable tool on your college website. We are particularly impressed with the outcomes we’ve collected from the use of embedding FATV tutorials in our electronic communications to students.”
