[Natfinwellness] MoneySmarts U First Episode Now LIVE!

[McMillan, Morgan]

Hello everyone and Happy Friday!

Since Phil's message a couple weeks ago, we have since launched our MoneySmarts U podcast featuring Pete the Planner. In fact, we have the first episode available for your listening pleasure (available on both iTunes and the moneysmarts.iu.edu): https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/moneysmarts-u/id1038193279#  - Enjoy!

Please continue to encourage students on your campuses to apply for a featured appearance on the podcast. We would love to continue to hear from students across the country. In case you missed it, here is more information and the link to apply:

"MoneySmarts U" will be an opportunity for students from across the country to get answers to the questions they have about their financial lives in college.  MoneySmarts U is co-hosted by Peter Dunn (a.k.a. Pete the Planner) and Indiana University alumnus, and current Director of E-Learning for Pete the Planner, Alex Eaton, with appearances from the Indiana University Office of Financial Literacy.  The idea behind the podcast is to go beyond providing basic financial education and terminology and to instead put students in the front seat of the direction of the show.  It will allow us to get perspectives on navigating college finances from a wide variety of student voices, provide our listeners with identifiable peer stories, and provide an ongoing narrative of the college experience from all walks of life.

We want this podcast to be something that spans a national audience and can provide a service to the entire higher education Financial Wellness community that we all have been working to establish these last few years.  To that end, we are inviting any of you who might know of a student who would benefit from this opportunity and to direct them to the following survey (http://goo.gl/forms/IyMFkjkZWr) and ask them to complete it for a chance to be on the podcast.  If your student is selected, we will reach out to your office so that we can promote your program as part of that episode.  We will also have the student select a pseudonym as to maintain a level of anonymity.

Right now, the plan is to record 13 podcast episodes this semester and, if there is enough demand, to continue for semesters ahead. Please let us know if you have any questions.  We're looking forward to getting the podcast out there and appreciate your help in making it happen!


Thank you all so much for all that you do. Have a wonderful weekend!
  Morgan
