Students Can Learn 'Ultimate Money Skills'
Fairmont State University's Office of Career Services will host "Ultimate Money Skills:
Scholars, Dollars, Budgets & Bills," a free financial success presentation for college
students, from 6-7 p.m. Monday, March 26, in the Falcon Center Conference Room (3rd
floor). Monster's Making It Count began delivering this presentation for the first
time on campuses across the nation this past fall.
The program emphasizes the importance of how the choices students make about money
while in college can have a direct impact on their future financial success.
"According to the Consumer Federation of America, 78 percent of college undergraduates
have at least one credit card, which makes it all the more important for students
to understand how to spend responsibly within a budget," said JR Cifani, Vice President
for Making It Count. "Knowing undergraduates are busier than ever with academics,
internships and extra-curricular activities, we developed a succinct, yet informative,
program to help them make smart financial decisions."
The program is being presented in conjunction with Bank of America, one of the world's
largest financial institutions serving individual consumers, small and middle market
businesses and large corporations with a full range of banking, investing, asset management
and other financial and risk-management products and services.
