A team of Old National volunteer financial educators present these classes.

Vincennes University Money Smart Classes

In our Vincennes, Indiana region, Sales Manager Chris Hertel and Retail Center Manager David Stowers volunteer to provide Money Smart classes to students at Vincennes University. Classes are offered  three times a semester, for a total of six classes a school year. VU students earn extra credit for taking the classes, which are coordinated through the student services director. The classes are taught in a three-part series:

Part 1: Basics of checking and savings

Part 2: Credit scores and consumer loans

Part 3: Fraud awareness and basic investing

Old National associates also teach Money Smart classes to other community groups and organizations.
