Dear Honorable,
We will be hosting our very first theme week of the fall semester NEXT WEEK (August 30th- September 3rd)!
The topic of our very first Theme Week is Student Financial Success. We hope to provide information to students on how to fund involvements like research, how to manage money and student loans, and how to start financial planning. You don't want to miss this! One would say that what you will learn will be 'priceless'... 🙂
Theme Week Schedule:
Monday, August 30th: Iowa Center for Research by Undergraduates (ICRU) Talks Student Funding
Check out our Instagram all day for information from the Iowa Center for Research by Undergraduates (ICRU) staff on funding your experiential learning, specifically for students in research!
Wednesday, September 1st: Financial Planning Lunch & Learn with founders of Goal Girl Finance (12 PM- 1 PM)
Join the founders of Goal Girl Finance as they share their knowledge on budgeting, financial aid, retirement planning, and more! Holly Barrett and Annie Pauler are both mothers and college graduates, ready to share their own experiences and the knowledge they've gathered along the way. They strive to make personal finance education accessible and easy to understand!
