New to the U.S. or just want to feel more confident managing finances here? Join Dr. Heather Moore with Financial Education for a friendly workshop series designed for all - whether you’re learning the basics or looking to build on existing knowledge, Heather will provide the info you need.
This event is the kick-off of a series of three workshops:
International students are among those frequently targeted by scammers. This presentation discusses the scams faced by students at college, the warning signs to watch for and how students can protect themselves.
The presenters are committed to helping our community recognize, avoid, and report fraudulent activity. By understanding how scams work and knowing where to seek help, you can protect yourself and others.
To compliment our Peer-to-Peer Conversation (P2P Conversation) workshops, we will be hosting a series of live question & answer (Q&A) sessions! These will have an office-hours format, so feel free to drop in for a few minutes or stay for the full hour!
Join Heather Moore, PhD, Assistant Director of Financial Education and Engagement at U-M, for an informal and practical overview of banking in the United States.
We’ll cover the basics, including what to expect when opening a bank account, common account types, terms and fees, debit vs. credit cards, and safety tips to protect your identity and credit information. There will be time for questions and answers.
Learn the essentials, reduce the guesswork, and start your U-M journey ready for U.S. banking!
