Campus weeks

The race starts on your campus.

From mid-October we bring a light run and a live panel to a different campus each week, five campuses over five weeks. Money, earning, saving, and the pressure that comes with all three, with financial educators and mental health practitioners on the same stage. Free to attend, whether or not you have entered.
