Lakehead University presents…

Creating a life of financial freedom with international financial wellness speaker and author Gordon Stein MBA, CSC, CFEI

Many students graduate with powerful skills in their field, but little to no financial literacy. Key personal finance lessons are often missed both in school and at home. The students graduate and spend to the limit of what they make and often well beyond. In the worst case, they enter a debt spiral that can take years to reverse. As a minimum, they are missing critical years to set up savings that can compound and provide financial wellness and freedom for a lifetime. Using a fun framework and relevant student examples drawn from Cashflow Cookbook, Gordon Stein delivers a memorable session that will start students on a powerful path of financial wellness.

Debt and credit can be powerful tools, but only if used properly. Join us to learn ways to manage general debt, including deciding when it’s worth taking the debt in the first place; how to effectively manage a credit card; and why your credit score is so important for your future. Use debt and credit the right way, with confidence.

The goal of “How to Manage Debt and Credit” is to help you understand and navigate the ever-expanding world of borrowing. You will learn how to manage general debt, and the difference between “good” debt and “bad” debt; how to use credit cards as a resource and a tool for your future; and what a credit score is, why it’s important, and strategies to improve a weak score or maintain a strong one. Debt and credit can be powerful tools, or dangerous opportunities. Take the time to learn how to use them correctly and you will thank yourself down the road.

$5 Amazon gift cards will be given to the first 20 students to register and attend.

Have you lived, worked, studied, or traveled in another country? Perhaps you have a keen interest in sharing your knowledge with others? The fair serves the purpose of encouraging members of our campus community to share their cultural experience with their peers. We’ll be working with volunteers who are willing to staff a table that represents a specific country. We’ll assist volunteers in coordinating an activity they can do with attendees to help them learn something new to enhance their cultural awareness. Attendees to the fair will be given a passport and encouraged to travel the world to earn stamps. Completed passports can be entered into a draw for prizes. This event will take place on Tuesday, March 21, from 11 am to 2 pm.
