Ouachita’s Academic Enrichment Center (AEC) will host a financial literacy workshop
Monday, Oct. 25, in the Evans Student Center Banquet room from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.,
including lunch.
The main focus of the workshop will be to assist students in determining a financial
plan to take them from enrollment through graduation. The workshop will be conducted
by the Student Loan Guarantee Foundation of Arkansas and will address issues dealing
with budgets and credit cards.
Frances Nelson, director of the AEC, is enthusiastic about the many opportunities
the AEC is offering students. Nelson said she is excited about the Academic Enrichment
Center playing an integral part in the college success of its participants.
The AEC utilizes a variety of activities to assist eligible students in making a successful
transition from a high school environment to university life. Nelson also noted that
the basic goal of the center is to increase the college retention and graduation rates
of its participants.
The Academic Enrichment Center staff is committed to providing the “total package”
to its participants, and the financial literacy workshop is one way for participants
to take advantage of that opportunity.
