CAPTRUST: Financial Wellness
Kent State believes in helping our employees make the most of their compensation and benefits package. To help you build a solid financial future, we have hired CAPTRUST as a resource to help you with these important decisions. Make an appointment by visiting the CAPTRUST website or calling 1-800-967-9948.
"The CAPTRUST financial advisor was very knowledgeable and helped me kickstart my savings plans all while assuring me I am on the right track. I feel other advisors make you feel so small and behind, but I got off my CAPTRUST call feeling great about where I am financially." - a Kent State employee like you!
