Bank of America wanted to help college students learn about personal finance without sounding good-goody, and present the BofA student checking services as a resource.

For this two-year campaign we create Morris, the wise upperclassman—the guy you wish you’d known around campus. He’s savvy, not smarmy, and will show you the ropes.

Creating Morris’s book was a team effort but I wrote the scripts for a number of sections; in particular Financial-Aid-Omatic (starting 1:14) and Identity Theft (2:25)
