Westminster College kicks off its "Get Real!" life preparation program Thursday, Sept. 20, with "The Emotional Quotient (EQ)" presented by Babs Quincy, College counselor.
The first session focuses on how personality may contribute more to success than intelligence quotient (IQ).
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. Three additional sessions are scheduled for the fall semester: "Wheels and Deals," Oct. 4; "Being a Smart Beginning Investor," Nov. 15; and "TriBeCa/SoHo: 2BR/2BA," Dec. 6.
