Advisory Committee

The Student Money Management Center (SMMC) Advisory Committee is composed of faculty and staff representatives from all three TWU campuses. Each member brings valuable experience and insight regarding the financial challenges facing our students and the university system. This perspective supports strategic thinking in the continued development and growth of an effective student money management center.

Committee members are enthusiastic about financial education and how it impacts student success. They offer advice and guidance, develop recommendations, assist with implementing the SMMC’s strategic plan, advocate for the center, increase its internal and external visibility, and support a culture of continuous improvement.

Members are appointed for one-year terms and may serve up to three consecutive terms, beginning after the inaugural committee year of 2020–21. Term limitations do not apply to the SMMC's full-time staff, nor to the representatives from the Office of Financial Aid (one per campus) and the Spend Well Committee, provided these remain the same individuals from term to term.

The advisory committee meets a minimum of twice a semester during the academic year.
