[Natfinwellness] Financial Literacy at Astrakhan, Russia

[Parker, Bill]

Alexandr (and everyone on the listserv),

I run the Financial Wellness Center here at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. We are a mid-sized university, with around 12,000 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled. We have a lot of great things happening and I would love to share any information with you. The  way I think we differ in our approach to financial literacy programming is that in addition to our work on campus (student and faculty/staff financial wellness initiatives), we have also became a staple in our community (high schools, after school programs, teacher training, etc.). We have also received grant funding and now have an official sponsor (financial backing by a local credit union) which has enabled us to increase our outreach efforts and our overall impact.

Best,

Bill

I forgot to put my email here, so it's avkoshkarov at gmail.com<mailto:avkoshkarov at gmail.com>

Hello!

I'm Alex Koshkarov and I'm doing financial literacy at Astrakhan, Russia. We work under Astrakhan State University and we are starting to build a program. Financial literacy is very real in my region and we actually don't have any special programs, but we are working on it. We are currently organizing meetings with experts at Astrakhan. It's usually about credit cards, loans, investments, saving plans, insurance. Сonsultations on various aspects of financial literacy are also included in our responsibilities.

Now I have a unique opportunity to have an internship at Indiana University Office of Financial Literacy with great professional Phil Schuman. I'm going to learn how this system works here and how financial literacy activities are organized here. That's my goal.  So, there are different places with different approaches (in terms of improving financial literacy) in the United States. I want to learn more about it while I am here (till June 1). I'd like to talk about it, please email me, if you have an opportunity.
