Busi­ness De­part­ment Hosts B-Dubs and Bud­get­ing Event

MISHAWAKA– When it comes to bud­get­ing, many col­lege stu­dents may strug­gle with know­ing how to save and spend their money and may feel like they must nav­i­gate bud­get­ing on their own.

Con­sid­er­ing this, Lori Stutz­man, as­so­ci­ate pro­fes­sor of busi­ness, and An­drew Mi­randa, Ameri­Corps mem­ber and re­ten­tion spe­cial­ist for the Cen­ter for Aca­d­e­mic Suc­cess, de­cided to put on an event called B-Dubs and Bud­get­ing to in­form stu­dents about how to bud­get and how to do it well. 

Stutz­man ex­plained that the event will give at­ten­dees the op­por­tu­nity to un­der­stand how to bud­get their money and learn about fi­nances. While at the event, stu­dents will view Dave Ram­sey videos and other bud­get­ing videos, work with a spread­sheet, and work through how to bud­get with given salaries. There will also be free Buf­falo Wild Wings at the event.

The event will be held in the Aca­d­e­mic Cen­ter in room 217 on March 29 at 7:30 pm.

All stu­dents can at­tend the event for free, and Mi­randa ad­vised that it would be es­pe­cially ben­e­fi­cial for stu­dents who are en­gaged or mar­ried.

To sign up for the event, stu­dents need only to email An­drew Mi­randa at an­drew.mi­randa@bethelu­ni­ver­sity.edu. 

“It will be fun and in­ter­ac­tive and give prin­ci­ples for bud­get­ing and work­ing with money,” Stutz­man said.
