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.
