Student Loan Presentation by Graduate Leverage
1020 VALLEY
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007, 12-1PM

What are you going to do with all these student loans? How much is it going to cost to pay back? Can you consolidate? What the heck is consolidation, anyway? How can you be SMART about your student loan debt?

To answer these questions and more, come see Doug Ritchey from Graduate Leverage speak, sponsored by the SCAVMA Speakers and Activities Committee. Doug is a fun and charismatic speaker, and has a lot of great information that is simply not optional for vet students to know about with our level of student debt. Graduate Leverage is a group that consolidates loans for graduates of professional programs and is able to use our high debt, low risk profile to save us as much money as possible.

If you plan on attending, please email Koko Shishida (kdshishida@ucdavis.edu) with your food preference of meat or veggie.
