A partnership between UPUA (the University Park Undergraduate Association) and the University Libraries has created the Student Financial Education Center (SFEC) to provide student-to-student financial educational resources and presentations. The SFEC is staffed by Peer Educators, students who have been trained in specific areas of personal finance (budgeting, credit cards and student loans), who work one-on-one with students to improve and sustain financial literacy at Penn State.

Students, faculty and staff are invited to a grand opening reception to promote the services of the center on Tuesday, January 21, 4 to 6 p.m., in the Mann Assembly Room, 103 Paterno Library.

The SFEC, located in 309 Paterno Library, in the William and Joan Schreyer Business Library, will begin accepting walk in or appointments on Monday, January 27. Hours vary each semester, and are posted along with other information at pennstateupua.com/SFEC. Continue reading →
