Susquehanna Supports Financial Education at Millersville University & EconomicsPennsylvania

Date:Thursday, May 15, 2008

William J. Reuter, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc., was selected as the 2008 Honorary Inductee for Millersville University’s chapter of Omicron Delta Epsilon, an international economics honor society.

 

Reuter was inducted into the Alpha Sigma Chapter of the society during the University’s annual Regional Economy Symposium & Awards Dinner on April 29.

 

“It’s truly an honor to join the ranks of inductees to Millersville University’s chapter of Omicron Delta Epsilon,” Reuter said. “Past honorary inductees have distinguished themselves through their work at local businesses and community organizations. In addition, the student members of this organization represent the highest levels of achievement in the study of economics.”

 

“We are blessed to have such a supportive business community.  Past honorary and student inductees are an integral part of our regional economy.  It is with great pleasure that we welcome a community and business leader as accomplished as Mr. William J. Reuter,” said Dr. Mike Gumpper, economics.

 

The program also recognized Susquehanna Bancshares’ commitment to Millersville University and EconomicsPennsylvania, a non-profit organization that provides tools and training about financial education to area elementary, middle school and high school faculty. The program’s educational center is being named the Susquehanna Bank Center for Economic Education at Millersville University.

 

Susquehanna, via its financial support of EconomicsPennsylvania, is providing a $4,000 donation to the newly established Omicron Delta Epsilon Research Award in Economics, to be presented to a Millersville University undergraduate economics major who is pursuing a student-faculty research project. In addition, Susquehanna is sponsoring 100 teams in the Stock Market Game, which teaches area public school students about investing, as well as sponsoring the Stock Market Game Award banquets.

 

“We are very happy to have the leadership and support of Susquehanna Bank and EconomicsPennsylvania behind our efforts to improve the economic and financial literacy of our community,” said Gumpper.  “Understanding economics and financial markets at an early age are the keys to developing the future workers, voters, investors, and entrepreneurs necessary to improve the standard of living of the next generation,” Gumpper said.

 

“Susquehanna is committed to assisting with financial literacy in our communities. Financial education is a key to smart consumers and a strong economy,” Reuter said. “The work of EconomicsPennsylvania and Millersville University is vital to the lifelong education of future business leaders, and we are proud to support these efforts.”
