An Opportunity for Seniors
Dear Parents of Furman Senior Class of 2010:
We are living in unprecedented times financially and otherwise. There is more economic uncertainty facing all of us than in any other time in our lifetimes. At times such as these, it is easy to simply let the overwhelming tide take hold and take us where it will; however, we will all come through the current crisis. In fact, each of us is likely to grow in ways that we cannot imagine.
In response to these needs, Furman University’s Division of Continuing Education and the Center for Corporate and Professional Development is offering a special Individual Financial Planning seminar series to Furman Seniors during the 2010 spring semester at Furman. The series consists of six sessions (2 ½ hours each) geared directly towards upcoming graduates.
Session 1: Budgeting
Session 2: Managing Credit
Session 3: A Primer on Risk and Return
Session 4: Mutual Funds
Session 5: Retirement Planning
Session 6: Risk Management
