"Get Real!" Series Kicks Off Fall Semester

Westminster College kicks off its "Get Real!" life preparation series Thursday, Sept. 17, with "Wheels and Deals" presented by Mike Hietsch, general manager of Phil Fitts Ford Lincoln Mercury in New Castle.

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. Three additional sessions are scheduled for the fall semester: "B.A. to CEO: Things I've Learned Along the Way," Oct. 1; "Investing for the Good Life," Nov. 5; and "Benefits Packages," Nov. 29.
