Doña Ana Community College (DACC)’s Financial Wellness Program invites the community to an event focused on financial education and resources.
The college’s Financial Wellness Fair will be held on Thursday, April 10 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the East Mesa campus, 2800 Sonoma Ranch Blvd., in the Student Resources Building (DASR) commons area. Multiple businesses involved in financial services from banks, credit unions, investment firms and debt management companies, will be in attendance at the fair.
These organizations will provide resources related to financial literacy such as information about identity theft, credit scores and reports, responsible use of credit cards, student financial aid and investments. The goal of the fair is to educate students and the public about managing personal finances, budgeting, debt, investing and other valuable financial information.
“Being financially literate is an important part of life. We want students to be truly interested in learning about making good choices with their money that will impact them now and into their future,” said Brad Mazdra, director of academic advising at DACC. American Document Services will also provide free document shredding to help students, faculty, and staff reduce their risk of identity theft.
People are encouraged to bring checkbooks, banking and credit card statements, and personal documents to be shredded on-site. The truck shredder accepts paper with staples and paper clips, but not large binder clips or notebooks, and will be on site from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
For questions, please contact Gina Reyes, DACC director of Avanza at greyes@dacc.nmsu.edu or 575-528-7372. Businesses or organizations can register for the free event at https://forms.office.com/r/52dyswd49p.
