The Daily Bruin

Hello! We’re Team Personal Finance, a group of undergraduate business students partnering with financial professionals and churches to host an event that takes the fear out of talking about money and helps young adults think intentionally about their financial decisions.

We need your input to determine how we can host a personal finance event that is engaging, helpful, comfortable, and meaningful. You can partner with us to make this event great by filling out this two-minute, eight-question survey.

Thank you for helping us effectively serve the community in this way!
