That feeling when you know the math but still can’t stop. It’s not about willpower. It’s not about being bad with money. It’s neuroscience. It’s psychology. It’s everything happening inside your head that nobody ever explained to you.

This Wednesday, Dr. Steven Meyers, Ph.D., ABPP — a board-certified financial psychologist — is coming to break it all down. Free. On campus. For you.

Come find out why money feels the way it feels.
