The COHEAO Financial Wellness Task Force identifies best practices, serves as a forum on existing programs and new ideas, and advocates for policies that leverage one of the most “teachable moments” in personal finance – the process of obtaining a student loan.
A Financial Wellness Newsletter is prepared quarterly and shared with COHEAO members. To be added to the listserv receiving the Newsletter or to submit questions or ideas, please email Lee Anne Wigdahl.
The COHEAO Financial Wellness Task Force has published several Financial Wellness White Papers to raise awareness of how schools can engage with students by highlighting the great work being done in providing financial education on college campuses.
