During this spring semester, Mark Mielke, founder of Texas A&M's first financial literacy program (The Money Wise Aggie), stepped in as a visiting lecturer to teach our FINP 335 course, Financial Readiness for the Military.

As a veteran, Mark knows the profound impact that solid financial foundations can have in the life of a service member.

We want to take a moment to honor his continued commitment to student success and share our gratitude for the time he generously gave in support of our program.

Thank you, Mark!

Our students recently returned from the first Texas A&M Financial Planning study abroad✈️

During their two week visit to the U.K., students (1) toured London’s Financial District, (2) met with local industry leaders, (3) explored the historic cities of York, Cambridge, and Bath, (4) visited the ancient ruins of Stonehenge, and more!

While visiting Cambridge American Cemetery And Memorial, which commemorates those lost in WWII, students were also able to honor a late relative of faculty advisor Dr. Nathan Harness.

It was a blast to connect with peers, be immersed in history, and learn how international financial markets compare to our own.

A learning environment that fosters community doesn’t start in the classroom. It starts before, with the team of people who help make it possible.

Earlier this week, program faculty and staff had a moment to step away at the end of the semester to enjoy one another’s company, recap the year, discuss what's ahead, and learn how they can best support each other in empowering aspiring planners.

We're grateful for all of the time this team puts into showing up, not only for each other, but for the students who make the investment worth it!

This spring, we had the opportunity to welcome guest lecturers into our Foundations of Money Education course to help students make a more meaningful connection between the financial planning topics covered in class and their real-world application.

We’d like to extend a big thank you to each of these guests for the time, experiences, and insights they shared.

Their willingness to engage with students helps make these topics more tangible, and we are confident that our students will carry these lessons forward as they set out to make informed financial decisions.👏
