MoneyWi$e
Everyone wants to get some of that paper, but then what? How do you actually save money and accumulate wealth? Learning how to deal with finances can be tricky, but we want to help! The Student Success Center's MoneyWi$e Program invites students to a series of workshops, hosted by the financial planning professionals, that covers financial topics such as: credit cards, debt, payday apps, investing, understanding paycheck deductions, and the ins and outs of responsible money management. Peer MoneyWi$e Advisors will work with students individually and in small groups to reinforce concepts from the workshops. Students who participate in all five workshops will receive a savings account start-up deposit and be entered in a raffle to win a grand prize.
