Financial Wellbeing
Financial Wellbeing is more than money.
It's your ability to meet current needs, navigate financial systems and decisions, withstand setbacks through personal and community support, persist toward educational and career goals, and build the opportunities and resources needed for long-term economic mobility and shared prosperity.
We're starting by listening.
Financial wellbeing emerges through the interaction of financial, institutional, academic, social, career, and community conditions that shape a student's ability to thrive.
As we build the Financial Wellbeing Program, the student voice is our most important source of insight. Listening sessions are a chance to share your experiences, challenges, strengths, and ideas, so that future decisions are shaped by student perspectives, not assumptions.
Join a listening session
Listening sessions are for current students only. Each one runs 45 minutes. Sessions are available and late October into early November.
What we’ll ask
What has been hardest about money as a student?
What or who has helped you most with money decisions and challenges?
What do you wish the university better understood about students’ financial realities?
Think of a time money got in the way of life. What would have made the difference?
