Personal Finance Advice by Students for Students

Every semester, there is a course on financial wellness called Personal Asset Management (FIN 2013). This course is open to all students on campus regardless of major or classification. We have had students from every college on campus from first-year to graduate students. The Final Project every semester is simple – create a video that encourages an incoming first-year college student to make a smart financial decision. It can be something that the student learned about in the course or something that the student learned about “the hard way” in their own personal life.
