Jackson State Becomes First HBCU to Launch Financial Wellness Center

Jackson State University

The Jackson State University (JSU) College of Business recently hosted a grand opening ceremony for its Financial Wellness Center, making JSU the first HBCU to do so. The Society of Financial Education and Professional Development (SFEPD) and Wells Fargo will partner in the endeavor to ensure the center becomes a substantial resource for students. The Center is located in the College of Business on the third floor.

“Our program represents a major milestone for financial literacy…We partnered with Wells Fargo to infuse financial literacy into the education of HBCU students, who in turn can use that information as well as the income generated from their degrees to make better decisions for themselves.”

– Theodore Daniels, founder and president for the Society of Financial Education and Professional Development

The SFEPD enhances the financial and economic literacy of individuals and households in the United States, and promotes professional development at the early stages of career development through mid-level management.

– Fidelis Ikem, Ph.D., College of Business Dean

The Financial Wellness Center aims to assist students reach their financial goals by offering one-on-one financial coaching, workshops and digital resources. The Center will also offer financial literacy resources in key areas such as money management, budgeting, savings, credit ratings, loans and spending decisions.

“Our biggest goal is to actively engage students and assist them with making healthy financial decisions after they leave JSU”

– Shelia Porterfield, Ph.D, Associate Dean, College of Business

Providing students with guidance and support in financial wellness also affords the University with another opportunity to enhance student success.

“Students who are financially literate have the resources and know the alternatives to the use of money other than just spending it…The more literate our students are, the bigger chances we have in reducing the wealth gap in the Black community.

– Theodore Daniels, founder and president for the Society of Financial Education and Professional Development
