| Most business can be done by phone
For years, I have been writing things like, "just go online," and "check out our online services at www.socialsecurity.gov." In the back of my mind, I have always known that not everybody has or wants to use the Internet for their Social Security business. Of course, we do encourage people to avail themselves of the services and information offered at www.socialsecurity.gov. .

A bachelor's degree completion program, intercollegiate sports, online courses and scholarships promoting diversity probably aren't the first things most people associate with AIB College of Business.

About 135 students enrolled in AIB's new bachelor's completion programs in business administration and accounting last fall, the first semester it was offered.
