August 28, 2024 (San Diego) -- San Diego State University and California Coast Credit Union leaders held a ribbon cutting ceremony on August 21 commemorating the grand opening of the new Cal Coast Credit Union Student Financial Center.
In 2023, California Coast Credit Union pledged $3 million to establish a financial center that would help students gain financial literacy and wellness skills. The Cal Coast Credit Union Student Financial Center, located on the second floor of SDSU’s Student Services West, has undergone renovations and expansions over the past year while remaining open to students. It serves as a hub for financial education, offering resources for financial aid, bill paying, budgeting, and more.
“I worked full time while I attended SDSU and I didn’t know where to turn on campus for personal financial advice,” said Cal Coast President & CEO Todd Lane (class of ’86). “I didn’t want students to experience that today. That is why it’s been a passion of mine to help develop a variety of free resources on campus to assist students with their personal finances, and make sure students are aware of them. I’m proud to know that through these efforts, we’ve helped students by setting them on a path to thrive financially in the long term.”
“Once I tackled the emotional roller coaster of getting accepted into universities, the burden of paying for my degree was at the forefront of my worries,” said recent graduate Kimberly Alcaraz (class of ’24), the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. “The Cal Coast Student Financial Center here at SDSU prepped me with the financial education and resources to make this a seamless process.”
With construction coming to a close, the dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony celebrates the center's progress toward becoming a well-established, accessible and free resource for students and the entire SDSU community.
