Westminster College continues its "Get Real!" life preparation series Thursday, Oct. 30, with "Investing for the Good Life: Intermediate Investing" presented by David Smith, Westminster assistant professor of accounting.

This session provides helpful information on the world of investment opportunities beyond checking and savings accounts. It covers stocks, bonds markets, CDs, mutual funds, and other investment options.

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. One additional session is scheduled for the fall semester, "TriBeCa/SoHo: 2BR/2BA," Nov. 20.
