The 2008 book “Nudge” reinvented the way we view behavioral finance, with Spock and Homer Simpson as our perfect case studies. Now, we’re back to take another look at the science of human behavior and how we can help students make optimal decisions and take actions, in a time of doing more with less.

Based on the updated “Nudge: The Final Edition,” this session provides insight into creating effective messages that inspire students to take action. We’ll review nudge theory basics, including ethics and implications, while incorporating new findings from the authors’ works. And, of course, we’ll discuss how nudges can work with your students. Don’t miss out on this fun and informative session!

There have been a lot of changes in repayment since the last time student borrowers had to think about it - it's been three years of changes and waiting! With staffing shortages, regulatory issues and training, it is difficult to keep up, especially when servicer incentive changes have occurred and borrowers will be joining repayment simultaneously. As a result, the lines for assistance - whether physically or virtually - may be longer than ever.

Join us for this educational session to hear:

• The state of repayment today
• Repayment options
• Resources for you and your students
• Helpful Inceptia solutions

As financial educators, we know the link between emotions and money, and often have to play the role of unofficial therapist; hey, there’s a reason behavioral therapy is a thing! As such, we may use positive tactics to encourage and motivate those we serve. But what if this approach is doing more harm than good?

What if we could deepen our conversations by embracing the suck, while also helping others better understand how to achieve and maintain happiness as part of holistic financial wellness?

Inceptia continues our behavioral science dive with a new look at how to be happy – but also, why being happy is not always the right response in building financial health.

In this session, we’ll talk through the benefits of feeling ALL the feels and how to find peace and balance through:

• Applying behavioral science theory to maximize happiness
• Learning to identify toxic positivity – and just say no!

Higher education is no stranger to DEI programming. Yet, with a renewed focus on creating equitable and inclusive learning spaces, there may be misconceptions as to what DEI actually IS – and what it isn’t.

Join us for a thirty-minute lunch and learn session to better understand how we define diversity, equity, and inclusion and how we may integrate DEI into the work we do for students. Participants will come away from the session with a resource guide for further developing DEI initiatives.

Back by popular demand, we continue our behavioral science dive with a new look at how to be happy – but also, why being happy is not always the right response.

At a time when we are all overwhelmed and maybe even burned out (ahem, the Great Resignation?), the focus on finding happiness is more relevant than ever before. Yet, we may find ourselves chasing joy, only to have it quickly fade once we reach our goal. Why is that?

Or, sometimes, you just want to feel down and it seems like the whole world wants a parade. Why are we so afraid of sadness, and how can a relentlessly sunny disposition actually be bad for you?

• Applying behavioral science theory to maximize happiness
• Learning to identify toxic positivity – and just say no!

Join us for an engaging and interactive webinar where we’ll talk about relationships and money. Couples will learn about each other’s money values, triggers and goals and work together to create a manageable and tension-less plan.

Mindfulness Coach Daron Larson helped us discover how exercising our attention – with or without meditation – develops relaxation, focus, and resilience. Learn how mindfulness practice can help you bounce back, adapt, and even grow in response to the threats and challenges of ordinary life.

Did you know that in America, women make $.82 for every dollar that a man makes? For BIPOCwomen, those amounts are even less, with Latina women experiencing the largest wage disparity at $.55 to every dollar.

The pandemic has further compounded the issue, with women disproportionately impacted by job loss that resulted in $800 billion in lost income.

So what can we do about it?

This session will explore the root causes of the gender wage gap, the downstream effects on society and our economy, and how we can educate ALL students to take action to combat gender disparity.

Even as the future of in-person contact has a positive outlook, developing phone skills can make a huge difference in the quality of student interactions. We’ll share tips and techniques on how the use of effective language, emotional intelligence, call-control and physical and metal tweaks can improve your communication with students.

The 2024-25 FAFSA normally opens on October 1st – but not this year! Aside from a delayed release date in December, new FAFSA changes are on the way; are you ready?

Now is the time to plan, and Inceptia’s FAFSA toolkit has everything you need to get the word out about FAFSA completion. This half-hour session covers everything you need to know about our FREE turnkey resources, including:

• Checklists
• Web banners
• Postcards, emails, and posters

With student loan repayment on the horizon, borrowers and schools will be dealing with a much different landscape of repayment than past trends could predict. The CARES Act has afforded some relief to all student loan borrowers by bringing them current and pausing payments.

Understanding the ramifications of mass student loan repayment resumption on borrowers is critical to helping them proactively prepare for, and successfully navigate, these unprecedented impacts. In this session, we will talk about the challenges this presents from the student and school perspective, along with recommendations to ease the strain.

To say that student loan repayment has seen a lot of changes this year is an understatement! It’s a lot to digest for fin aid pros, let alone graduating students or those who are preparing to finally enter repayment after a nearly three-year hiatus. Inceptia can help by providing expert guidance and plain language info to decode student loan repayment.

In this student-centered session, we will cover what you absolutely need to know about repayment, including:
• Newly announced (Nov. 22) extension to the repayment pause
• Changes to loan repayment plans and forgiveness options
• How to save time and money throughout the life of loan repayment
• How to choose a repayment plan that fits individual lifestyles and income
• Options to avoid default and delinquency

This free webinar is a great way for students (and staff!) to hear exit counseling concepts and have questions answered by an expert. We encourage you to extend this invitation to anyone who may benefit from this valuable session.

Whether students are just starting out or a non-completer that wants to earn a certificate or degree to improve their lifestyle, or change the trajectory of their career, increasing their education will improve their livelihood and their communities’ workforce. Connections get to the heart of the matter. Is it money, lack of knowing their next steps, life, or something else? If you can determine what’s holding them back, you can help them complete their education.

Join us to hear how Michelle Greco from Delgado Community College and Dr. Kohle Paul from Gwinnett Technical College have implemented student outreach programs to connect with targeted students to increase the persistence of new and returning students.

Spoiler alert: we are all spending much more time online than ever before, even conducting work that was previously believed to only be effective when done face-to-face. While technology and the internet have made the impossible possible, there is also a danger for all of us – but especially students – to subconsciously consume negative messaging.

In a social media world that prizes bigger, better, prettier and more popular, the fear of missing out (FOMO) is wreaking havoc on mental, emotional, AND financial wellbeing.

In this session, we’ll discuss the very real consequences of FOMO, the effects of social media on spending and saving, and how we can inform and empower students to resist.

A few years after our very popular Nudge webinar, we’re back to take another look at the science of human behavior and how we can influence others to make decisions and take actions.

We’ll revisit the basics of nudge theory, including concept, ethics and implications, while incorporating new findings from the authors’ works. And, of course, we’ll discuss how nudges can work at your campus, with your students. Don’t miss out on this fun and informative session!

It’s everywhere. Higher education institutions have unprecedented challenges to consider. What does “going to college” mean? How will revenue change? What will enrollment look like and what are we going to do about it? Where can costs be reduced and gains still made?

When it comes to nudging students to complete the FAFSA, you can never have enough tools to spread the message – but who has the time or resources to create a comprehensive FAFSA communication plan?

Loan summaries, or debt letters, have become an increasingly popular way for colleges to bridge the gap between entrance and exit counseling, helping students stay informed and engaged when it comes to borrowing. Some states, taking notice of the reduced borrowing and improved academic performance tied to this intervention, are even making loan summaries a mandated requirement for colleges and universities; national legislation has also been introduced.
