Louisiana State University

The Louisiana State University (LSU) Student Financial Management Center successfully promotes CashCourse to students by creatively implementing CashCourse material and resources in print, on the Web, in classrooms, and around campus. Since August 2009, the LSU CashCourse page received 1,382 visits and over 20,000 page views. The site averages 14.48 pages per visit and the average time spent on the site is just shy of 10 minutes.

Financial Basics on the Geaux: Short articles found in the Administrator’s Section of the CashCourse Web site were adapted to create one-page financial information handouts. The 8 handouts promote the CashCourse Web site and financial literacy to students in a short, quick-to-read format. Literature displays are set up at high traffic areas and are picked up by students regularly. Download this extremely successful program, consisting of all 8 handouts in a Zip archive.

CashCourse Quizzes: During LSU’s annual Fall Fest, a booth was set up where students could take the CashCourse Quizzes and receive a pre-loaded USB Flash Drive including Financial Basics on the Geaux and other CashCourse information.

Twitter: CashCourse was promoted as part of the LSU Student Twitter feed (@LSUstudents) through a minimum of bi-weekly tweets. CashCourse Quizzes and the Millionaire Calculator were included for monthly “prize tweets.”

CashCourse Crash Course: This online scavenger hunt was included in summer orientation sessions and as a required assignment in the Business Administration 1000 course. Check out the questions included in this Website Resource Hunt.

Templates of these resources are available for you to customize in the "marketing materials" folder in the Administrator’s Section of CashCourse.
