Savvy Saints!!!!
I am having a great time at my new job in campus. This year, I was hired to be the savvy saint peer mentor at Onestop. I offer one on one financial literacy to students in the undergraduate and graduate as well as alumni. We use the gradready tool to organize and create a personalized budget. Depending on the year of the student, there are three options “paths” they can take; Paying for college, money management, and real world finance. In addition to creating a budget, students learn more about gauging their debt, loan repayments, loan plans, credit scores, buying or leasing a car, basic investments, retirement plans, mortgages, interest rates and much more. I enjoy creating games on power point to continue the fun interactive learning experience for students. In addition, meeting the students and supporting them to meet certain long term and short term goals is a bonus. I love it!
