Financial Wellness

Welcome to WCU Financial Wellness!

Financial knowledge, and more importantly how to use it, is a key component for everyone before, during, and after college. Financial decisions are made on a daily basis and could affect your financial future. We are here to help you navigate your financial future through one-on-one peer led coaching, workshops, and presentations. We can help you create a budget, learn the ins-and-outs of credit, and plan for a more secure financial future.

Kennedy Hales

Financial Wellness Peer Coach

My name is Kennedy Hales and I am a senior at WCU majoring in accounting and minoring in finance! Some facts about me are I love the mountains, my favorite activities are hiking and going to concerts, and I am a course tutor! The thing I like the most about my campus jobs is being able to connect and work with my peers!

With a passion for finance, she taught Microsoft skills and personal finance for three years before returning to Cullowhee to pursue her MBA. Sarah loves working with individuals to help them navigate their personal financial situations, finding tailored solutions to meet their needs. When she's not coaching, you'll find her reading with her dog, Sadie, or getting an early start on Christmas preparations—usually by June!
