Also, the other day at work, alma maters came up and the financial state of some of them are in. Since I have an interest in Capital Investments, we were discussing how it would be smart for schools to "grease the wheels" so to speak and help create their own kickback potential by having a workshop or seminar that teaches its alumni and employees, over the course of four years, money management/investment principles & strategies early so they are equipped with the tools to invest their hard earned cash regardless of their profession to actualize substantial net worth of which the potential is greater that they may give back, at the very least expanding the pool of possibilities.
In discussing it, it occurred to me, that LU could adopt a program of some sort that could be implemented relatively seamlessly within the current scheduling system without much disruption. Given that there are three built-in convocations each week, perhaps having convos on two days and a Money Management/Asset Investment deal on the non-convo day. For example, by utilizing 15-20 minutes of Wednesday convo hour for "Hall Meeting/logistics" and then piping in over broadband a 15-30 minute Asset Management "lesson" (for lack of a better term); or having eight areas of meeting places where First Year A semester students go, 1st Year B semester students go (to avoid overlapping of content; also solves "capacity" problem for one convo day when campus = 25K) to at least be exposed to the powerful principles of strategic and responsible money management and eventual Asset Investment in a structured format--(there has to be some entertaining presentation products out there.)
Though most students may tune it out initially, many will, upon graduation, at least know where to go when they realize that it is a necessity if they ever want to be free of working for the "man." Those who kept the books that would be given out would have them available to review. (Perhaps a spin-off is to have the presentation also on the LU website as a public service of learning the essentials of investing and powerful principles in effective money management.)
Just a thought, if you made it this far kudos, we now return you to your regularly scheduled posting.
