Financial Management: Transitioning from College to the Rest of Your Life
In the past, women were not encouraged to participate in their own or their family’s financial management. Of course, the
attitude that “taking care of the money” was a male responsibility infantalized women, rendering them unprepared and vulnerable.
Luckily for today’s young adult women, such thinking has changed dramatically. Nonetheless, there are unique needs that women
need to recognize to be successful in personal financial management. Junior, senior, and graduate students particularly are
encouraged to participate in this discussion about preparing for the post-college financial road ahead.
Presenter: Patricia M. Donnelly, Student Money Management Services

deputy share their experiences and perspectives on breaking into, surviving and thriving in the “boys’ club,” and offer tips
for women who want to follow their lead.
Presenters: Nancy Jeffers, Royce Ann Martin, Veronica Miller and Mary Ann Robinson

Social Networking and Your (Future) Career: Guess Who’s Looking
Stop and think a moment before you post that sexy pic on FaceBook: it could cost you a job after graduation! Today’s web-wise
employers are surfing the net to find information about applicants on social networking sites. More than 25% of companies

personal (bad) habits—and according to one survey, about 30% of the online content caused companies to not hire young applicants. Join the presenter for tips on employment-friendly online profiles and avoiding the pitfalls of posting
content that could keep you from getting that great job after graduation.
