Contact: Sharon Hageman at 581-1853
ORONO — The University of Maine Financial Education Program, in collaboration with the UMaine School of Economics, will offer a series of workshops related to household personal finance. All workshops are free and open to the public.
Topics include “Budgeting and Finance: Making Ends Meet,” March 19; ” Mortgage Primer: Navigating the Process and Bankers’ Lingo,” March 26; “Debt: Pros and Cons, Management, Restructuring,” April 2; ” Efficiency: Cost Cutting, Long and Short Term,” April 9; and ” Investing in Your Future: Kids, College, and Retirement,” April 16.
All workshops will take place from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Thursdays in March and April in the Walker Room of the Memorial Union. Each workshop is a standalone session–combining lectures, exercises and discussion–but the topics are designed to complement one another. Light food and refreshments will be provided.
In addition to the workshops, program staff will be available for one-on-one consultation and assistance.
The Financial Education Program aims to provide UMaine employees, students and residents of surrounding communities access to high-quality, current and credible information, tools, and services designed to broaden personal financial management knowledge and decision-making skills. The program was established by the University of Maine School of Economics in cooperation with the University of Maine system, Maine Community Foundation, the Maine State Treasurer, and University of Maine Cooperative Extension.
