Walk-in Financial Counseling Appointments

Thursday, March 28, 2024 - 9:00am 240A

Walk-in Financial Counseling Appointments

Open to all students but especially helpful for graduating 3Ls, if you have questions about your specific personal financial circumstances regarding loan repayment, please stop by to see Michael Tindall, Senior Loan Account Advisor with Marquette University's Bursar’s Office, for a one-on-one counseling session. If you are unavailable, you can always email Michael to set up a separate one-on-one session. 

  • When: Thursday, March 28, from 9 a.m. through 5 p.m.
  • Where: Room 240A

This program is a part of the Office of Student Affairs Financial Wellness Week programming. 

Whether it’s because we already have too much to worry about, we were taught not to discuss it, or it’s just easier to think of as a “tomorrow” problem, we know that talking about our finances can be difficult. But taking control of our financial wellness now can actually allow us to feel less anxious about our path ahead. So, what is financial wellness? It’s the practice of understanding and implementing smart money habits, having a handle on our individual financial situation, and creating achievable financial goals. 

Therefore, the Office of Student Affairs is proud to host a week of financial wellness events and resources for our Marquette law students.
