Binghamton University’s Fleishman Center for Career and Professional Development has partnered with Visions Federal Credit Union to help improve student financial literacy and financial wellness. Through this partnership, a Visions Financial Wellness Educator holds regular office hours on Binghamton University’s campus to help educate students about financial literacy, wellness and best practices. The Financial Wellness Program helps set students up for post-graduate success by teaching them how to make informed financial decisions and plan for their futures.
