Delta Sigma Pi wants students at Grand Valley State University to be able to win the money game, so they will bring speaker Adam Carroll to campus today for a program.
Delta Sigma Pi, a professional business fraternity at GVSU, wanted to help enlighten students on an “under represented” topic, said Derek Begue, the fraternity’s vice president of professional programming.
“Even if students think they know what they are doing it is always beneficial to learn another perspective,” Begue added.
The speaker, Adam Carroll, founded the National Financial Educators and speaks often to college audiences.
According to Carroll’s website, adamspeaks.com, “We all play a game with money, and at any given time in our lives we’re either winning the game or losing the game.”
The purpose of his presentation is to show students how to win the financial game and not just follow what is popular in society.
“He is also a favorite presenter of our members at regional conferences for Delta Sigma Pi and we thought his engaging style would be great to share with other students,” Begue said. “In (his book, ‘Winning The Money Game: A Financial Rule Book For Young People), and in his speaking event he shares strategies he used himself and has gathered from others to help educate his audience on how to achieve financial success.”
Carroll will speak in Room 122E of the Loosemore Auditorium inside the DeVos Center, on GVSU’s Pew Campus. The program will take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and is part of Campus Leadership Week.
