If you asked any college student, "why are you in college" they would tell you they are chasing a career. Of course, they wouldn't be handing over their parents life savings if they didn't believe they wouldn't get a return on their tuition. So many students today find themselves in financial crisis both in and outside of school. They struggle with the almighty student loan debt crisis, credit cards, car loans and personal spending all while expected to buy a home and live the American Dream. My proposal is to implement a student run organization or club that brings students from Tennessee Tech together to discuss these important topics. Students should be able to create lofty, financial goals for themselves and their legacy yet, nobody has told them that they can achieve a high level of financial success. I will be the first of their peers to tell them that anything they can conceive, they can achieve. We will discuss the steps necessary in creating wealth, create goals, live by those goals, and inspire financial change for our generation.

==== Team Building & Leadership Skills for Students ====
Many students face issues when it comes to working with a team for class projects or in their work and home lives. Many students don’t know how to face these issues, which makes working in a team, for any reason, frustrating. Students also have been vocal about the lack of leadership skills they have. Several students that I have talked with have mentioned that leadership is something that they are never really taught; all throughout high school, they are taught to follow, but never how to be the one that is followed. For my project, I want to offer these skills to students in a way that can be fun and stress-free, but also provide them with what they need to succeed. My idea is to offer a 1 credit hour course that offers team building and leadership skills to all students in an outdoor setting. This course would be a 4-5-week course offered in the spring. Participating students would meet once a week for an outdoor activity that involves either teamwork, leadership from each student, or both. After course completion, each student would have skills on how to effectively work as a team member in a functional group, and how to take the leadership role in a situation. This will help students with class projects as well as in any entrepreneurial role they may take on.
