Grand Opening of PVCC Branch of the UVA Credit Union

“No one has handed me a pig before,” said President Frank Freidman at the UVA Community Credit Union opening.  Piedmont recently opened a credit union branch, and the students and staff could not be anymore excited.

On Monday, March 16, the  Bolick Student Center was packed full of important people just waiting for the ribbon cutting.

Rebecca Cartwell, vice president of PVCC’s community relations, was exuberant about having a credit union at Piedmont, “We are really excited to have the credit union here at Piedmont. One thing we’ve seen during the recession [was] a lot of adults needed guidance in the financial area of life.”

At the credit union opening, Piedmont welcomed three individuals: Delegate David Toscano, Delegate Steve Landis, and Scott Leake who represented Representative Robert Hurt.  Delegate Landis mentioned that he lived on the other side of the mountain, but Piedmont is one of his favorite places on this side.

Having a community credit facility at Piedmont will help students with the financial guidance that is so desperately needed.

College can be expensive; students should learn to budget accordingly for the coming years.
