Take Charge of Your Finances with MCC’s Financial Wellness Series

Whether saving money, earning a degree, or planning for the future, Middlesex Community College is here to help students set themselves up for success. MCC’s Financial Wellness coach will host a six-part series to teach students strategies on how to get and stay financially well – starting on Monday, October 3!

“Research shows that over 70 percent of college students worry about their finances and how they are going to pay for college, books, or room and board,” said Serrahtani Parrish, MCC’s Financial Wellness Coach. “In addition to this worry, most students only have the basic understanding of how to be financially responsible. I am offering these workshops in the hopes of giving students a more thorough understanding of their personal finances and bringing awareness to how their financial decisions today will impact them in the future.”

All six of MCC’s Financial Wellness workshop events will be offered from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays in-person at MCC’s Lowell campus Multicultural Center or online.

· Monday, October 3 – Where’s My Money?

· Thursday, October 13 – Better Budget Basics

· Monday, October 17 – My Savings First Aid Kit

· Thursday, October 27 – Ready, Set, Let’s Tackle Debt

· Monday, October 31 – UMC: Understanding and Managing Credit

· Thursday, November 10 – Financially Ever After

Lunch will be provided for students participating in-person. Middlesex students who join three or more sessions will receive a $25 gift card.
