Berea College

MoneyWi$e is a joint Initiative of the Labor Program Office, <a href="https://www.berea.edu/academics">Academics</a>, <a href="https://www.berea.edu/student-financial-aid">Financial Aid</a>, and <a href="https://www.beyondberea.org/">Career Development</a> designed to increase the financial wellness of the College’s community members. This Initiative draws on several of the <a href="https://www.berea.edu/the-great-commitments">Great Commitments</a>, but mainly the Seventh, about supportive and sustainable living: “To maintain a residential campus and to encourage in all community members a way of life characterized by mindful and sustainable living, health and wellness, zest for learning, high personal standards, and a concern for the welfare of others” (emphasis added). In the extracurricular MoneyWi$e 101 series, students Learn to Earn. One hundred students total, 25 from each class year, can earn $100 per semester, each semester consisting of three sessions, each consisting of an online hour and an in-person discussion hour, totaling six hours. Students will prepare with a Moodle unit and discuss the topic with their peers during an evening or weekend session. Six topics structure the MoneyWi$e 101 class across four years, remaining constant while growing with the students in their adulting process.
