The center, which includes classrooms and a laboratory, was funded in part with a $1 million pledge from the Charles Schwab Foundationin San Mateo, Calif., which was announced in October 2007. The funding will also be used to support a research scholar. There are more than 300 students enrolled in the Division of Personal Financial Planning.
