William Woods University will host Making It Count’s “Ultimate Money Skills: College,” a financial success presentation created to educate and empower college students to develop smart money management skills.

Making It Count, an educational service provider for students and a business unit of Monster Worldwide Inc., is teaming up with Bank of America to provide the free presentation tomorrow (Tuesday, Nov. 15) at 3:30 p.m. in Dulany Auditorium.
 
The “Ultimate Money Skills: College” program provides students with an understanding of appropriate credit card use, how to develop and follow a budget, banking options, how to protect their identity and the importance of saving.
 
Students and administration who have attended this program found the presentation extremely valuable and effective. The presentation is supplemented by ultimatemoneyskills.com, which offers more information on the topics covered, as well as an opportunity for students to submit solutions to money-related challenges, provide their own money tips and read a money-management blog, written by college students.
