Students are encouraged to take time to build better money habits during Financial Literacy Month in April. The University’s Office of Financial Literacy has organized several events for students to learn more about planning for their financial future.

On Tuesday, April 11, students can gain some pointers on how to supercharge their internship search and experience. Author and entrepreneur Zachary Schleien will discuss concepts from his book “Hacking the Internship Process.” The event will be held from 5 to 6 p.m. in the Peter Graham Scholarly Commons, Room 114 E.S. Bird Library.

The presentation is sponsored by the Office of Financial Literacy, Career Services, Blackstone LaunchPad and the Couri Hatchery.
