Paul Goebel, founding and managing director of the Student Money Management Center, has been named the 2017 CashCourse Financial Educator of the Year by the National Endowment for Financial Education. The award honors an educator going above and beyond to promote financial literacy on their campus. The award recipient exhibits exemplary innovation and dedication to their students’ financial well-being. 

"For me, this special acknowledgment not does reflect the singular accomplishments of just one person; rather, it mirrors the incredible difference and impact the entire SMMC team has made and is making as a team in the lives of students every week," Paul Goebel said after being notified of his selection. "I am just fortunate enough to have the honor of leading such an incredible team."

The UNT Student Money Management Center has been ranked #2 in LendEDU’s study on the Top 50 College Financial Literacy Programs. Financial literacy among college students is as important as ever, and the SMMC continues to be a recognized leader in the field of collegiate financial literacy education.

The rankings were compiled for the Top 50 College Financial Literacy Programs by using a unique scoring system based on three parameters. The three parameters and their assigned weight were as follows: (1) Number of Workshops and Resources Available -- 50%; (2) Access to One-On-One Financial Consultation -- 30%; (3) Incentivizing Programs Available -- 20%.
