On Dec. 7, Donna Stringer, Vice-President of Trustmark Bank, Broad Street Branch in Columbia, visited the Work Based Learning class at the Marion County Carl Loftin Career and Technology Center. Stringer shared information about banking careers, including her own work history of 40 plus years.
Louie Green and Donna Stringer of Trustmark Bank look on as Malik Miller creates his inkless finger print for identification.
Students were curious about the safe deposit box she brought for them to view as she discussed the costs, the procedures, sizes and purpose of it. She showed them how to use the marking pen to detect counterfeit bills as they identified authenticity of various denominations of bills while searching for magnetic strips, ghost emblems and texture of the bills. Students participated in an inkless identification using their fingerprint as an identification. Banking and financial responsibility are vital for student success; therefore, she explained how good credit and
financial responsibility are the beginning of good banking habits. The WBL class is taught by Debbie Brumfield.
