CANYON, Texas — West Texas A&M University students are getting a crash course in financial literacy, thanks to a partnership between the University and Education Credit Union.

The Advanced Money Management Boot Camp will offer students five interactive workshop sessions beginning Jan. 30, all featuring area experts discussing topics such as building credit, home and car buying, relationships and finances, and more.

The boot camp is cosponsored by ECU, the Education Credit Union Buff $mart program and the WT Alumni Association. Each of the ECU panelists is a WT alumnus.

“We’re proud to connect Buff alums with our current students so they can share their wisdom and experiences,” said Ronnie Hall, executive director of the WT Alumni Association.

“ECU Buff $mart’s goal is to help produce students who are financially independent and graduate with little or no debt,” said Meghan Williams, program director. “These workshops are designed to help students prepare for life after college by focusing on financial topics that almost everyone will deal with frequently.”
