A series of new classes is on the schedule at Harrisburg Area Community College. The college is partnering with Fulton Bank to offer financial literacy courses to students at its Lancaster campus. The one-hour sessions cover topics ranging from defining credit to tips on guarding against identity theft. "This is a great opportunity for HACC students to learn about establishing good credit and using credit wisely, which are important life skills," said Smokey Glover, Fulton’s director of fair and responsible banking. "Fulton's employees are experts on financial literacy, and we’re proud to share our knowledge and experience with students who are just starting to form financial attitudes and habits." Studies have shown that people are more productive and less stressed when they have better control over their personal finances. Fulton's partnership with HACC is part of the bank's Fulton Forward initiative, the umbrella for its community development initiatives. Fulton Bank is one of six subsidiary banks of Fulton Financial Corp., which has assets of $19 billion. Fulton Bank operates more than 100 branches throughout Pennsylvania, Delaware and Virginia.
