Question: How can we as a community foster an environment that supports a first year student to adapt to their new found independence?
Solution: We as a community can foster an environment that supports first year students in finding their independence by providing financial literacy meetings to help teach students how to manage finances, debt, loans, etc. Prototype Goal: To teach freshly 18 year old students (or anyone obtaining their undergrad degree) who are living on campus how to manage their finances now that they are officially on their own with no support system in terms of $$. A strategic priority for a financial literacy prototype may include showing students how financial literacy can make them financially more responsible and independent as a first time student living away from parents. One assumption to test based off of this strategic priority is the question of is teaching financial literacy a beneficial and relevant enough topic to integrate into our classrooms? A potential way to test this assumption is to have a mock meeting with students and after discussing feedback, ways to improve, and whether it is suitable enough to become part of UNF’s curriculum in the honors program. The way I chose to test my assumption was to create a survey for first time students (see picture) and see how they respond to the initial survey. The initial survey acted kind of like a pre-first meeting survey where it asks what concepts they do know, need extra help on, how can this program/meetings help benefit them best, and how we may be able to supply them for success for thc class. I had gotten constructive feedback about my survey and what I learned was to make the pre-survey more in depth because it felt general to my testers and how I can make those meetings more interactive. === Student Priority 4: Innovation Exposure to Action ===
