Eagles participate in Banking 101 seminar.
STATESBORO – Georgia Southern freshmen student-athletes participated in their first Eagles in Transition/Life Beyond Sport event since arriving on campus Monday night.
The Eagles partook in a financial seminar, presented by Core Credit Union, in Bishop Fieldhouse. Core Credit Union Community Events Manager Julie Morrison and Business Development Manager Wes Wilkes spoke to the student-athletes about banking. The Eagles learned about checking and savings accounts, how to create a budget and how to start saving for the future.
"Thanks to Core Credit Union for presenting tonight's finance seminar, Banking 101 for our freshmen student-athletes," said Gleen Hart, senior associate athletics director for student-athlete development. "This is just the beginning of the process to help them develop the necessary life skills for a successful transition to life after athletics and prepare them for the ultimate competitive challenge - life."
GS student-athletes will attend a series of four financial seminars – once each year – that will cover a variety of financial topics as they progress through college.
The financial seminars are part of the Eagles in Transition/Life Beyond Sport Program, which focuses on the holistic development of Eagle student-athletes through professional, personal, leadership development, financial education and community service.
Next up on the docket is a Leadership Seminar for freshmen student-athletes Sept. 10 at 7 p.m. in Bishop Fieldhouse.
