"Get Real!" Series Continues

Posted on Tuesday, September 23, 2008

Westminster College continues its "Get Real!" life preparation series Thursday, Oct. 2, with "Wheels and Deals" presented by Bill Fitts, a New Castle car dealer.

This session provides helpful information on buying or leasing a first car.

Sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs, the "Get Real!" series acquaints students with life after college. It provides helpful advice on financial planning; banking; medical care; consumer and personal legal matters; apartment, auto, and house hunting; getting the most out of leisure activities; and preparing for lifelong relationships.

Each session covers a different topic and runs from 12:40-1:50 p.m. in the Witherspoon Lakeview Room. Attendance is limited to 25 students, with preference given to juniors and seniors. Two additional sessions are scheduled for the fall semester: "Investing for the Good Life (Intermediate Investing)," Oct. 30; and "TriBeCa/SoHo: 2BR/2BA," Nov. 20.
