JHU Financial Education Seminar Series — JHU has partnered with TIAA-CREF to host a complimentary Financial Education Seminar series designed for employees across the JHU campuses. The sessions will focus on how to use the university’s retirement plans to reach savings goals and manage long-term investments through a volatile market. The series is designed to provide participants with simple strategies to prepare for their financial future, no matter where they are in their lives and careers. The seminars will be offered from September to December across many JHU campuses. Employees wanting to participate can sign up for one, two or all three seminars. Each month from October to December, JHU will give away two iPads to seminar participants and one iPad to a participant from the JHU department with the highest overall attendance.
