The Center for Personal Financial Management consists of a group of trained students who are excited and ready to help other college students manage their money in a Biblical way. The student peer advisors meet with other students one-on-one to talk about their financial goals and problems, providing Biblical advice in personal finances. They are trained to discuss budgeting, saving, credit, taxes, investing, and much more!

Along with one-on-one coaching, students write and publish blogs focused on important personal financial topics that students might face. These blogs serve as a resource to students wishing to learn more about their personal financial management.
