Balancing the Books members are students from the Whitman School of Management.
Students from Huntington School, Bellevue Middle School Academy and Henninger High School will arrive on the SU campus at 9:30 a.m., where they will be welcomed by Whitman School assistant professor Kira Reed. Reed will teach a mock lesson in business to the students beginning at 10 a.m. in the Shaffer Art Building’s Shemin Auditorium.
At 10:30 a.m., the students will participate in a science experiment led by Sam Sampere, physics department lab manager, in Room 500 of the Hall of Languages.
