Adulting is hard! But it doesn't have to be, which is why you should join Beach Pride Events (BPE) at Financial Empowerment! These workshops are designed to help you learn about managing your finances and understand how to become financially independent. Each workshop will have a different topic and guest speaker in the field they are speaking on.

These FREE workshop series are open to all Long Beach State University (LBSU) students throughout the semester at 12 p.m. in USU 303. All attendees will receive FREE concessions while supplies last and the chance to win a $25 gift card with ASI swag!
