Westminster College to Present Third in "Get Real!" Series

David Smith, Westminster College assistant professor of accounting, will present "Being a Smart Investor," the third in the "Get Real!" life preparation series, Thursday, Nov. 15.

This session focuses on the many investment opportunities beyond checking and savings accounts.

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 of the McKelvey Campus Center. Attendance is limited to 25 students, with preference given to juniors and seniors. One session remains for the fall semester, "TriBeCa/SoHo: 2BR/2BA," Dec. 6.

Smith, who has been with Westminster since 2004, earned his undergraduate degree from Bucknell University, a master's from Robert Morris University, an M.B.A. from the University of Pittsburgh, and is a certified public accountant in Pennsylvania.
