As young professionals, it's easy to dismiss retirement planning as a problem for another day. However, studies show that people who begin a moderate investment strategy in their 20s and 30s are likely to retire earlier and live more comfortably than those who couldn't be bothered to plan for their futures.

Join us for Myth Breakers, Money Makers and the Rest of the Public, a program of the USC Professional MBA PULSE Leadership Seminar Series, presented by Allen Gillespie of GNI Capital, on Tuesday, May 1 from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. at the University Center. Gillespie will discuss painless – and responsible – ways to start, modify and evaluate your investment strategy.

This seminar is open only to PULSE members, and there is no cost to attend. Click here for more information or to register.

Hands On Greenville Day (HOG Day) is the Upstate’s only "volunteer-a-thon," and it’s big! On Saturday, May 12, volunteers will spread throughout Greenville and surrounding areas to repair cabins at campgrounds for the disabled, paint playground equipment and murals at our public schools, landscape the grounds of local shelters and beautify nearby state and city parks.

Companies large and small create HOG Day teams to participate and reap the benefits of teamwork, camaraderie and the feeling of making a difference. Click here for an overview of HOG Day, or sign up now to be a part of PULSE's HOG Day Team. Click here to join the team today!
