SARBANES ANNOUNCES HEARING ON FINANCIAL LITERACY AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS Senator Paul S. Sarbanes (D-MD), Chairman of the Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, announced that the full Committee will meet to conduct a hearing on the importance of financial literacy among college students. Beginning at first-year orientation, many college students receive credit card solicitations and over half acquire their first credit card during their first year of school. However, college students often lack the financial knowledge that is necessary for a smooth entry into the financial system. Consequently, many students mishandle their finances and accrue large amount of credit card debt. The hearing will explore ways to address this problem. The hearing will be held: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2002 10:00 AM 538 DIRKSEN SENATE OFFICE BUILDING Scheduled to testify are: Ms. Ellen Frishberg, Director of Student Financial Services, Johns Hopkins University; Ms. Natalo “Tally” Hart, Director of Financial Aid, The Ohio State University; Dr. Robert Manning, Caroline Werner Gannett Professor of Humanities, Rochester Institute of Technology; Mr. Jonathan Miller, Treasurer, State of Kentucky; Dr. Michael Staten, Director of the Credit Research Center, Georgetown University.
