Today on @YahooFinance: Magnetar founder/CEO, Alec Litowitz, & @Rmaxcy of @UChicagoSTEMEd shared the importance of #FinEd access & explained how @FinEdInitiative's finEDge course teaches decision-making, vs just facts. “We decided we could do more together than alone,” Alec said.

Highlight: “There’s so much we’re not teaching our students” about financial literacy, says Chicago STEM Education’s Rebecca Maxcy. “We know there is an income inequality gap, but… there is [also] a massive education and knowledge gap,” adds Magnetar Capital’s Alec Litowitz.
