Adelphi, Md.—University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) will host Financial Wellness Day on Wednesday, July 20, from 1-4 p.m. EST. The virtual event is free of charge and open to all. Participants can attend workshops and seek one-on-one financial planning advice and guidance from experienced professional Certified Financial Planners (CFPs).

CFPs are available to discuss how to get out of debt, retirement planning, investment strategies, tax issues, insurance, mortgages and foreclosures, estate planning, and more financial topics.
