The workshops — offered both in-person and virtually — include teaching students how to prepare meals, manage finances, rent and/or buy an apartment or house and buy and care for a car.

Members of the university community will teach the sessions. Associate Director of University Events Charity Kuchyt said she hopes the workshops will be fun, informative and helpful for students, especially when the time comes for them to make major purchases or life decisions.  

“We are always looking for ways to connect with our students and also offer programming that they would both enjoy and find useful,” Kuchyt said. “By bringing in staff, and especially alumni, who are excited to work with our students, we are creating new opportunities for lasting relationships and skills that they can take with them into their future.” 

Students who attend the entirety of their session will receive an entry into a raffle for reserved seating at Commencement. Students who fully participate in all four sessions are eligible to wear a Bobcat For Life cord at Commencement.
