Registrar Office Offering Help with Graduation Packets

An event for seniors is being held to ease stress of graduation

LOGAN, Utah. – The registrar’s office will be helping USU seniors understand the process of their graduation packets Thursday Nov. 11, at 7 p.m. in the Alumni House.

At this senior event, Lisa Hancock, director of the SOAR program, will be speaking on finances after college. She will give tips on job searching, how to live inexpensively after college for as long as you can, keeping financial affairs in order, and creating and keeping a good credit score.

“The earlier you start taking control of your finances, the better. You have your entire career in front of you, and by grasping a few basic financial principles, you will feel much more in control of your financial situation, which can help you feel in control of many other aspects of life,” Hancock said.

The 2011 senior gift will also be announced at this event. Seniors will have the opportunity to donate to this gift at the event or by going to usu.edu/seniorgift.

This will be one of many events this year geared towards preparing seniors for “life after college.” All graduating seniors are encouraged to attend and there is no cost for the event. Any questions can be sent to Tessa Goodall at tessforchange@aggies.usu.edu
