2011 Symposium on Financial Literacy and College Success at Minority-Serving Institutions: Institutionalizing Approaches to Student Success
As partners, USA Funds®—the nation’s largest guarantor of student loans—and the Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) are proud to announce the 2011 Symposium on Financial Literacy and College Success at Minority-Serving Institutions: Institutionalizing Approaches to Student Success. This symposium, to be held Feb. 22-25 at the Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center in Dallas, Texas, will address effective resources and institutional practices for MSIs to consider when developing financial literacy programs.
The 2011 Symposium on Financial Literacy and College Success at Minority-Serving Institutions: Institutionalizing Approaches to Student Success is designed to directly meet the needs of an institution’s current financial literacy programs and broader objectives. The upcoming meeting provides institutional teams time to work directly on new or refined financial literacy initiatives on their campuses. As part of this year’s application, we ask participating institutions to submit a proposed financial literacy plan related to increasing student financial literacy and, in turn, student retention and success.
Workshops and presentations will help teams to enhance their proposed plan, develop an implementation timeline, and consider assessment and sustainability components for their work. Attendees will receive one-on-one support from financial literacy experts throughout the duration of the event. Issues to be covered include:
- Identifying best practices and interventions
- Incorporating assessment into financial literacy work
- Diversifying funding and revenue sources
- Integrating communication and advocacy strategies to garner widespread support
Teams of three (3) senior administrators from approximately 40 institutions will be selected to attend. Interested teams may apply to attend the 2011 Symposium on Financial Literacy and College Success at Minority-Serving Institutions: Institutionalizing Approaches to Student Success by visiting the online event registration system.
