COVID-19 Statement

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, SFE&PD will be conducting its financial literacy work through distance learning platforms, webinars and video conferences. SFE&PD, like many others in the U.S. workforce, will now work remotely by telephone, emails and conference calls. We will also post and share useful information on our website and social media.

This is an uncertain time for all, and it offers a unique challenge for those of us in the financial education field who collaborate on teaching Americans how to use their financial resources wisely. We at SFE&PD will stay in close contact as we find innovative ways to continue do our important work in financial education and help others mitigate their financial risks in the wake of this global pandemic crisis.

These are unprecedented times. We are honored to work daily with a great community of professionals – financial experts and educators in the public and private sector – to serve individuals and college students. We wish you the best and we will get through this together. For additional financial tips go here.

"The training helped me plan for my immediate future and also for the long term. I wish they would conduct financial training classes for the entire university!"
Ashley GreenHoward University
In these tough economic times, (financial) presentations like these become even more important for our students. Students need to be made aware of money management issues so that they make all the right decisions as they go through their student life and enter careers.
Dr. Anil KukrejaXavier University's School of Business
Because of the financial training, I am better informed student with a better understanding of how to handle my finances after college. Mr. Daniels gave us real life advice about managing our finances for our future. I learned about what to do to manage my finances once I am working in my career –and when I retire. Excellent financial advice!
James RobinsonSouth Carolina State University
My deepest appreciation for SFE&PD’s presentation to the Economics 400, Senior Seminar at Spelman College. My students as graduating seniors valued your remarks as a great takeaway, which should precede every commencement speech and/or baccalaureate exercise.
