After Facebook, the next logical step is Twitter, right? With millions of students tweeting on a daily basis and professors even bringing Twitter into the classroom, the new social medium is a great place to communicate with students and teachers just like you. And guess what, it’s easier than you think.

CashCourse uses Twitter to communicate with students, alumni associations, teachers, and students who also use Twitter. Our username is @nefe_org, the Twitter alias for the organization that created CashCourse, the National Endowment for Financial Education® (NEFE.)®
