Daruty’s Personal Finance Workshop: A Salve for Anxiety (June 2010)
By Sandi Burnett
In April, Pierce College Professor Kathy Daruty presented a no nonsense, no sales pitch, personal finance workshop designed for our faculty. We are grateful that she accepted the invitation to give a presentation to our faculty members for the second year in a row. Her background in both finance and philosophy gives her the capacity to reasonably explain money mysteries with a human touch, “let’s talk about what gives you sleepless nights.”
The FA will schedule more opportunities to learn from her next year. In the meantime, her handout material is posted on the FA website (www.smcfa.org).
