UK Celebrates America Saves Week
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 21, 2022) — A goal of many families is finding a way to save. Saving for college, for a new home, for the unexpected or just saving for the future. But how do you save for those things is the question on many minds.
During America Saves Week, Feb. 21-25, University of Kentucky employees can get answers to those questions and more. America Saves Week is an annual celebration as well as a call to action for everyday Americans to commit to saving successfully.
UK employees can take part in multiple events during the week through Enrich, UK’s financial well-being partner, and TIAA.
The following courses are available on Enrich, and the first 50 participants who register in any of the following courses, or who take the Financial Personality Assessment, will win a UK coffee mug:
- Creating a Budget and Sticking to It
- Managing Financial Stress
- Saving for Goals
- Mastering Credit and Optimizing your Score
In addition, employees can take Enrich’s monthly $1,000 Challenge to improve money skills and have a chance to win $1,000.
TIAA customers can register for any of the company’s live webinars. In addition, TIAA customers are being challenged to contribute an extra 2% of every dollar to their retirement account and can see their take-home pay when they save more.
UK offers employees a variety of year-round financial well-being offerings, including retirement and education savings plans, health savings accounts and debt coaching.

We pride ourselves on being a catalyst for breakthroughs and a force for healing, a place where ingenuity unfolds. It's all made possible by our people — visionaries, disruptors and pioneers — who make up 200 academic programs, a $476.5 million research and development enterprise and a world-class medical center, all on one campus.
