Join us for Inceptia’s first multi-year research project, in which we worked with over 60,000 students from across the country to gain insight into their personal finance successes and challenges. From credit, to student loans, to alternative banking, the assessment was designed to gauge a full range of financial capability markers. The results can help all financial education advocates keep their finger on the pulse of what students know, what they think they know, and areas in which we can help bridge the gap.

1. 1. A practical understanding of nudge theory and its role in financial education programming
2. 2. Tips and ideas from the Indiana University case study

Gen Z, the next generation of students, is more tech savvy and digitally driven than its predecessors – an area in which many campus departments are still getting up to speed.

Through research, and best practices from the University of Illinois, this session covers:
 

• Understanding the Gen Z mindset

Financial aid professionals continue to be some of the busiest people on campus. With staffing constraints, shrinking budgets, increased regulatory requirements, data security concerns, and trying to serve students who expect modern, streamlined, user-friendly experiences, institutions are constantly challenged to get everything done. Working with a service partner can help schools provide more personalized service to students and their families while reducing the need for time-intensive technical support and regulatory compliance updates.

Reserve your spot in our one-hour webinar with Art Provost, Director of Corporate Security, as he talks about the top five pitfalls to data security connected to the ED guidance and how Inceptia has overcome them. Your ability to keep your students’ sensitive data (both online and on paper) secure is more critical than ever. A data breach results in reputational and financial consequences; and it could lead to identity theft and fraudulent activity. Security preparedness is not only a key to understanding the constant threats in the environment but also a regulatory requirement. It’s even up to you to understand how data is protected when partnering with a third party.

In honor of Financial Capability Month, Inceptia will host Bryan Ashton, Director of Student and Institutional Success at TG, and Phil Schuman, Director of Financial Literacy, Indiana University, as they discuss the impact of financial wellness programming on college campuses.

Additionally, Bryan and Phil will provide recommendations for cross-campus collaboration, explore the impact of student finances on student success, and present a case study illustrating the tie between student success and financial wellness.

Finally, the political winds of change will be addressed as Justin looks at potential shifts in bureaucracy, deregulation, privatization and free college initiatives.
