From Debt to Budgeting, Financial Wellness Program Helps Students with $$$ Management
Managing a budget in college can be difficult, and for many people it confusing and overwhelming. Going it alone is possible but arduous, and that is why Emerson created the Financial Wellness program (formerly known as Money Matters).
To get a better understanding of how the Financial Wellness program can help Emersonians, Carol Smolinsky, Director of Financial Wellness, Education, and Communications, spoke with Emerson Today.
Q: What is the Financial Wellness program?
Smolinsky: The Financial Wellness program is offered through Student Financial Services to offer students and alumni the resources necessary to make confident, informed decisions regarding their personal finances and their educational expenses.
We collaborate with campus partners to create and offer workshops throughout the academic year, provide 1-on-1 financial counseling appointments with an Accredited Financial Counselor for students with complex financial questions or concerns, and offer free access to our online financial wellness platform, iGrad, to all students, staff, faculty, and alumni.
iGrad really helps to round out our program because it offers 24/7 access to webinars, online courses, articles, and videos on personal finance topics and student loans, as well as a fully curated and searchable scholarship database. Additionally, they’ve added some excellent tools for financial mindfulness and stress reduction!
