Tuesday, 11 Apr 2017 at 5:30 pm – Sun Room, Memorial Union

In a time of constant change, it’s more important than ever for Americans to focus on ensuring their financial well-being. Roger W. Ferguson, Jr., CEO of Fortune 100 financial services firm TIAA and former Vice Chair of the Federal Reserve, will offer advice on steps that every individual can take, no matter what ups and downs may occur in the economy and markets. Ferguson represented the Federal Reserve on several international policy groups and served on key Federal Reserve System committees. As the only Governor in Washington DC on 9/11, he led the Fed's initial response to the terrorist attacks, taking actions that kept the U.S. financial system functioning while reassuring the global financial community.
