Summary - MSU’s financial wellness programming recognizes that financial needs evolve over
time and vary by career path. Employees benefit from guidance on debt management,
retirement planning, insurance decisions, and wealth-building strategies. At the same
time, students face unique challenges, including high tuition costs, delayed earning
potential, licensure expenses, and early-career financial planning. Employees benefit
