Get Your Money Needs Met Right Across the Street: Local Credit Union is a Great Resource for Union College Students

Want to have a local bank? A bank that is more convenient and geared toward students? If you said yes, then the Lincoln SDA Credit Union is the place for you. If you are not from Lincoln or haven’t really paid attention to the other shops on 48th street, then you likely haven’t heard of this bank. Well, thanks to Dr. Seth Pierce’s PR Campaign class, that will likely change soon.

Currently, the PR class is revamping the credit union’s newsletter, social media and website. That way, they have an online presence and a better user interface experience. Check them out online on their website, Instagram or Facebook (if you still use it). In addition, the PR class has worked with the credit union over the semester to create a campaign for students that will occur at the end of this semester and continue through the beginning of the next. 

Much of the campaign will take place in August, but for those who just want to know about the here and now, here is what is happening currently. On the credit union's Instagram, @lincoln_sda_cu, there will be $25 gift card giveaways every week. If you are a lucky winner, you get to choose where the gift card is to – Amazon, Chipotle, The Mill, etc.

If you enjoy the chance to win money, then you are going to love what is coming next semester. And it won’t be just giveaways. There will be contests and even bigger incentives. When August rolls around, be sure to check them out across the street. But for now, like their Instagram posts and stay tuned for the good things to come!
