The Center for Financial Literacy was created from the Marilyn C. Link Endowed Teaching Chair in Financial Management in 2018. Since then, we have hosted 9 seminars serving more than 1,900 students and community members in the Treasure Coast. In line with the Center’s mission, the purpose of this seminar is to provide a financial literacy program that will help our students and the community in making informed financial decision. The purpose of the Center is parallel to the college’s commitment to develop a highly-skilled workforce and cultivate student success.
