The event focuses on equipping students with tools to identify and guard against financial schemes, particularly those related to job opportunities, housing rentals, and scholarships. Attendees will participate in community discussions and receive resources from Chase Bank.

Kate Hallihan, senior assistant dean of students at the John Glenn College of Public Affairs, explained that financial stress makes college students uniquely vulnerable to fraud. She noted that teaching financial literacy helps protect students today while enabling them to serve the public interest in the future.

Erica Wicks, vice president and Columbus community manager at Chase Bank, noted that technological advances have made scams more sophisticated and difficult to detect. Wicks stated that raising awareness through education is the most effective defense for students.

The workshop is part of an ongoing effort by Chase Bank and university leaders to deliver financial education to students, local businesses, and the broader community.
