Always financially savvy, Manasa Alur ’26 used to give her friends advice about scholarships, credit cards and other money issues in her residence hall lounge.

Now she's one of 10 trained peer mentors in the University of Maryland's new Financial Wellness Hub, an outpost of the Robert H. Smith School of Business’ Financial Wellness Center. The hub, located on the first floor of McKeldin Library, will reach students across campus with resources on budgeting, investing and financial planning through peer mentoring, classes and events.
