Financial Wellness

Whether you are feeling high levels of financial stress or are simply seeking to expand your financial knowledge, increasing your financial understanding is a great way to feel confident in managing your financial resources for a lifetime of well-being. We are here to help guide you on this path.

Increased financial literacy and financial wellness can have positive impacts beyond your wallet. Having ownership of your finances can be empowering, even if the amount of financial resources is low. Having a plan moving forward can make even the largest pile of debt seem manageable. Focusing on the basics of positive financial behavior while in college can set the course for the rest of one’s financial life.

The topics of each workshop are below:

Do you follow a budget? Not really sure where to start? Budgeting Basics is a great introductory presentation to help individuals understand the importance of a budget and how to create a budget that will work for them.

Credit: What is it and why should you care?

What even is credit? A lot of individuals have mixed perceptions of credit, how to build it, and why it’s so important. This presentation will take individuals through the basics of credit, including building and maintaining good credit, and will leave attendees with tools, tips, and resources to take the first (or next) step into the world of credit.

Eating Well on a Budget

This workshop teaches attendees tips for formulating a grocery list based on a predetermined budget, identify how to shop in a grocery store, and understand health benefits of certain food groups. The Eating Well on a Budget workshop is great for those who want to learn more about how to grocery shop in a way that not only fits their budget, but also has foods that contribute to their overall physical wellness.

Finances After Graduation

This workshop is specifically geared for students graduating from undergrad or grad school, who are getting ready to embark on the next step in their journey. In this session, participants will be provided with a review of financial wellness basics and will be provided the resources needed to navigate finances after college.
