Get Money Smart @ Lindenwood
Engage yourself through Get Money Smart @ Lindenwood, a campus-wide financial and economic education initiative. The program equips students, faculty, staff, and friends of Lindenwood with common-sense principles and practices to take control of their finances and be responsible decision makers. It focuses on the key pillars of budgeting, saving, investing, spending, borrowing, and planning. Join us on Tuesdays in April from 12:15-1:00 p.m. as dynamic speakers from Lindenwood will gather to discuss practice personal finance and how to use economic reasoning to make financially sound decisions. For convenience, sessions will take place both virtually and in-person in Dunseth Auditorium in Harmon Hall. Additional events and activities will enrich the learning experience.
Get Money Smart @ Lindenwood is part of the campus and community outreach of the Economic Education Center.
Please contact us if you are interested in supporting this annual initiative that will make a difference in the lives of many students.
