Hi. My name is Mitch Knopp.
I am a graduating senior this
year and I am a peer educator
for Student Money Management
Services here at KU.
I'm here with Taylor Bettles
and she is one of the students
we assisted last semester with
her financial situation.
So, Taylor, can you tell us a
little bit about yourself?
I'm from Wichita, KS.
I'm at KU as an English major
in the school of Liberal Arts
and Sciences.
How did you hear about Student
Money Management Services?
I was actually enrolled in an
introduction to KU class last
semester called Pre 101.
SMMS had a presentation in that
class and I thought it was
really interesting and I liked
what they had to say.
That's how I heard of SMMS.
What made you decide to use
this service on campus?
As a freshman in college I
definitely don't manage my
money very well.
I've never really had to
before.
So, it helped me to budget and
know where I had to save money
to spend it and know when to
spend my money.
How did SMMS help you last
semester?
We set up a budget and that way
I was able to save and not
spend my money just on anything
I felt like.
It really helped me know when
and where to spend my money.
Will you be using the services
again?
Definitely, I've already
received my financial aid
letter for next year.
I've set up meetings and we've
started on a budget already for
next semester.
So I'm really excited.
I think it's really empowering
to have control over your own
money and I'm glad that I do.
Student Money Management
Services definitely helped me
with that.
