As for continuing the program, what I hope to see, since we have the concentration and the minor, is going to post-baccalaureate. I hope to see that part growing, too.” Wells is optimistic that Purdue University Northwest can grow the program further. “My hope is that we would continue to build on some of this early success, and continue to expand the programs we have that directly interface with the banking and financial sector,” said Wells. “We happen to be right next door to one of the largest financial centers of the world here, just outside of Chicago, and we’ve got a phenomenal partner in the Indiana Bankers Association. So between those two centers of gravity, in my mind the opportunity for PNW to become a leading provider of banking and financial education, certainly in the Midwest if not nationally, is legitimate. I think we have an opportunity to do that.” HB CINNAIRE.COM It takes more than good intentions to transform communities. It takes capital, development capacity and trusted partnerships.
