Plan for the future with new Financial Wellness program

The Case Western Reserve University Wellness Program will launch a pilot series in August to strengthen faculty and staff financial wellbeing.

Learning how to implement a sound investment strategy will help reduce financial stress and strengthen preparation for life events (such as children, college, and retirement). Increasing knowledge about investing and savings plans will help participants make healthy financial decisions.

Attend each of these two sessions led by William Mahnic, associate professor of banking and finance at the Weatherhead School of Management, and obtain information critical for a sound financial future. Each session will be offered twice to accommodate as many interested participants as possible.

The first session, “Saving for Financial Wellbeing,” will address saving for life events.
