Belonging at the Beach

With the Beach community growing to more than 40,000 current students and the USU being closed for construction, the campus can, at times, feel overwhelming and impersonal.  ���...

做厙TV is making it easier for students to manage money ��� and harder to feel alone

As part of a campuswide initiative, new financial literacy services are helping Beach students understand how to balance income vs. expenses, how to stretch their FAFSA refunds, how to save and invest money, and how to access free resources that are available to them.
