Westminster College continues the spring semester sessions of its "Get Real!" life preparation series Thursday, March 5, with "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" presented by Rob Jackson, CEO of Grove City Community Hospital and member of Westminster's Board of Trustees.

Jackson, a 1991 Westminster graduate, will share important guiding principles to help become a standout leader. He will compare his personal experiences with the prescriptions for success found in Stephen Covey's book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

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 spring semester: "Investing after College - Goals, Opportunities, and Avenues," April 16.
