We will be offering financial planning information to students, faculty and staff in the areas of budgeting, credit scores, student loan repayment, retirement planning, and many other areas of personal finance. If you are struggling with financial stress and need someone to talk to, anyone on campus is welcome to sit down with our resident financial planner or our paraplanners to discuss options and formulate a financial plan.
