Galloway, N.J. — Stockton University students can learn practical skills to help them better manage their money during a new financial wellness workshop Series this fall titled Money Matter$.

The series continues on Nov. 9 with Understanding Credit led by School of Business faculty members Barry Palatnik and Jiajin “Sandy” Chen. The session will cover credit scores, credit cards, loans and interest rates, as well as common financial mistakes students should avoid.

Chen will lead the final workshop, Financial Literacy 101, on Nov. 23. Students will learn the fundamentals of budgeting, smart spending and saving, along with strategies for setting achievable financial goals.

All workshops will be held from 4 to 5 p.m. in Meeting Room 5 of the Campus Center on Stockton’s Galloway campus. The workshops are free and open to all Stockton students.
