The Daniels College of Business Brings Financial Literacy Into High School Classrooms
March 13, 2023 | du.edu
Aurora (Colorado) Science & Tech High School’s freshman—and inaugural—class has had an unusual opportunity to learn important skills often left out of the secondary school curriculum: financial literacy.
Throughout the winter quarter, they learned about everything from budgeting to investing from graduate students and faculty at the University of Denver’s School of Accountancy, who led six ninth-grade classes through workshops covering the fundamentals of personal finance. Each workshop was designed to provide a different set of skills that students can build on throughout their lives, says Sharon Lassar, the John J. Gilbert endowed professor and director of the School of Accountancy at the Daniels College of Business. “We’re setting the students up for long-term success, not just for college, but before and after.”
