The Financial Well-Being Team in the Student Support and Advocacy Center (SSAC) defines “financial well-being” as creating a balance and sense of security in your own life. It is the feeling of having the financial freedom to plan for today, tomorrow, and the future.
April is Financial Literacy Month and various departments around campus have partnered to create Money Smart Day, a virtual and now in-person financial literacy conference to help you find that financial balance in your life.
The 3rd annual Money Smart Day will take place in a virtual setting throughout all three Mason campuses (Fairfax, Arlington, and Sci-Tech) the day of April 12, 2023. This event is open to students, staff, faculty, alumni, and all other members of the Mason community.
