[YEP-DC] Financial Literacy Education Panel and Report Release April 2

On Thursday, April 2, 2015, Higher One and EverFi will release the third-year results of Money Matters on Campus, a survey examining the financial attitudes and behaviors of approximately 43,000 college students from across the U.S. Money Matters details the need for a proactive approach to financial literacy education based on identified financial attitudes and behaviors.

 

This event, which kicks off Financial Literacy Month, will take place from 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. at the National Press Club First Amendment Lounge (529 14th St. NW, 13th Floor, Washington, D.C. 20045), and feature a review of the survey's findings and a panel discussion on the importance of financial literacy and increasing financial capability among college-bound and college students. The panel will feature individuals with varied and considerable expertise on issues related to financial education, including:

 

·       (Moderator) Beckie Supiano, senior reporter, The Chronicle of Higher Education

·       Joe Duran, chief operating officer, Moneythink

·       Mary Johnson, vice president of financial literacy and student aid policy, Higher One

·       Ryan Law, director of the Office for Financial Success and director of the Center for Economic Education, University of Missouri

·       Nan Morrison, CEO of the Council for Economic Education

 

Traditional financial literacy education focuses primarily on providing simple financial knowledge and reactionary tools, without accounting for a student's individual attitudes, history, motivation and behaviors. This event will showcase how K-12 and higher education, through effective financial literacy interventions, can work together to increase the financial capability and preparedness of students as they begin their postsecondary journey.
