The Associated Students of Madison student government will hold an event Wednesday to discuss improvements to financial support and advising for University of Wisconsin-Madison students on topics such as filing taxes, creating a personal budget and paying tuition.
The Financial Literacy Town Hall, sponsored by the ASM University Affairs Committee, aims to collect feedback on finance advising options by facilitating a conversation between students and stakeholders who work in financial support services.
According to ASM Press Office Director David Gardner, representatives from the Office of Financial Aid, UW Credit Union, Summit Credit Union and the Center for Financial Security plan to attend the event.
Gardner said the goal of the town hall is to discuss possible collaboration between these stakeholders to offer students improved financial resources.
“We’re hoping to have a good discussion with the people who actually work with financial advising about communication and advising and how we can help students know their resources, know where to go when they need help,” Gardner said.
The discussion will take place Wednesday at 5 p.m. in the Hearing Room of the Student Activity Center.
