Planning Ahead: Student Loan Repayment Info Session

Tuesday, March 26, 2024 - 12:10pm TBA

Please join Michael Tindall, Senior Loan Account Advisor with Marquette University's Office of Financial Aid, to provide a general overview of the entire process of managing all types of student loans, the various repayment options available to you, and effective strategies for managing your debt and finances after graduation. This session is open to all students and will be especially useful for graduating 3Ls.

  • When: Tuesday, March 26, from 12:10 — 1:10 p.m.
  • Where: TBA based on RSVP's
  • Please RSVP as lunch will be provided.

These programs are 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. RSVP for all events by Friday, March 22, here.
