  4. Some preliminary lessons learned • Incorporating volunteers into plans has been challenging • Getting buy in from college administration is incredibly important • Fostering collaboration – or at the very least, connection – between student services and academic departments is key for campus-wide change • Leveraging resources for support of these activities is critical • Showing impact of financial empowerment programs beyond individual interventions is extremely difficult • No two programs look exactly alike—and that’s OK!
