The dynamic sessions included video clips and case studies to help graduate students develop healthy financial habits:

  • Frameworks for how to manage student debt

  • Strategies to develop and maintain good credit

  • Guidance on how to file tax returns as a graduate student

  • Advice on how to invest successfully for the future

Shahar has been invited back every year since 2015 to deliver the Personal Finance Workshop series and set Columbia Graduate Students on the path to financial success
