On this episode of Speaking of … College of Charleston, we talk about something that impacts every student: money. From tuition and textbooks to coffee runs and weekend plans, managing your finances in college can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’re diving into financial wellness—what it means, why it matters, and how you can take control of your money while you’re here at CofC and beyond. Joining us is Liz Cooper, associate director for financial wellness in the Career Center and Elisa Peñaloza student ambassador. Whether you’re a first-year student or getting ready to graduate, this conversation will help you take control of your finances and set yourself up for long-term success.
