Description

Shahar Ziv, a financial wellness educator, writer, and speaker who makes money topics make sense, will present a session on investing, hosted by Student Financial Support.

Here's what you'll learn:

  • Investing basics: stocks, bonds, mutual funds (and what they actually are)
  • How to build a portfolio on a student budget
  • Risk management 101: goals, timelines, and smart choices
  • Time value of money—the power of compounding and why starting early matters

Three students who attend the session will win a Johns Hopkins umbrella and a copy of The Index Card: Why Personal Finance Doesn't Have to Be Complicated by Helaine Olen and Harold Pollack.

Students who attend at least six financial wellness webinars during this school year will be entered to win a pair of Beats Studio Pro Bluetooth noise-canceling headphones.
