Advisor to offer financial direction

   Planning one's future requires proper money management, an academic advisor believes.
   NE Campus will offer Practical Money Skills for Life, a session that explores strategies for debt management as well as proper credit card use, next week.
   The seminar will provide participants the chance to meet with Greg Mangum, a banker with Capital One, and Dave Brownlie of the counseling department.
   In the hour-long workshop, students can ask questions and see options for their own financial needs.
   Also offered is an in-depth look at the pros and cons of saving and of living in a dorm.
   With help from the instructors, participants can develop a financial plan and avoid the pitfalls of credit card misuse.
   Sponsors hope that students will walk away with a better understanding of how financial planning can pave the way to a better future.
   The seminar will be held Thursday, Oct. 9, between 12:30 and 2 p.m. in NCAB 112. The free workshop is open to anyone.
