Adulting 101 is back this spring with three virtual sessions to explore common themes during uncommon times, where staying healthy and staying home have become the new normal.

The monthly sessions are at 6 p.m. on Zoom. Registration for the event is required at iueadulting101.eventbrite.com.

Sessions for this spring will focus discussion on taxes, personal investments and the housing market.

Terry Wiesehan, director of Alumni Affairs at Indiana University East, said the series is available to alumni and community members.

“The presentations offer adults information they can use in their life,” Wiesehan said. “We’ve covered topics ranging in finances to networking to work and life balance.”

Guest speakers for the presentations will be announced at a later date.

Adulting 101 is a partnership with HYPE and the IU East School of Business and Economics. The series is presented by the IU Alumni Association East Region Chapter.

First Bank Richmond sponsors the Adulting 101 series.

HYPE (Helping Young Professionals Engage) is a committee of the Wayne County Area Chamber of Commerce. HYPE helps young professionals, ages 21 to 40, to engage in the community by offering social and professional development opportunities.

Adulting 101 was first launched in the fall of 2018 by Oi Lin Cheung, associate professor of finance and director of the Center for Business and Economic Research for the School of Business and Economics. Cheung secured a Sustaining Talent-Engaging Partners (STEP) grant through the “Building a Bright Future” project and partnered with the Office of External Affairs to organize monthly events to help young professionals build a bright financial future.
