USC has joined forces with Spanish-language television network Univision to host the fourth annual Feria Finaciera, a free event open to the public that will be held on campus on Saturday, March 19, 2016, on the University Park Campus.
The fair will offer Angelenos multiple seminars and town halls in Spanish and English on the topics of personal finance, small business, education aid, and home and car buying.
This initiative is designed to create awareness about financial literacy and entrepreneurship among the Latino community.
“USC is proud to partner with Univision in bringing financial information to the Latino community in Los Angeles,” said Thomas S.
