Adrienne Cavill was one of the creators of the Marrs Magnet Middle School Financial Literacy Program. Taught by College of Business Administration (CBA) Scholars, the class gave back to the community by teaching financial literacy topics to students.
Financial Literacy
Adrienne Cavill planned and developed the curriculum for each grade level, while also helping teach the classes. With a coalition 20 UNO students, Adrienne taught students attending Marrs Magnet Middle School about banking, using credit versus debit cards, federal and state taxes, and how to prepare and save money for college. “As a group we wanted to show that we are leaders and that we give back.” Students in the fifth, sixth, and seventh grades engaged in the financial literacy program. Not only did the students at Marrs Magnet receive financial literacy, but they watched UNO college students who were leaders giving back to the community. As Adrienne said, “We want to show that we are leading and that we want to give back. That is the number one message we wanted to show them.”
Cavill is a Buffett Scholar in the Thompson Learning Community, and part of several organizations and programs on campus including the Honors Program, Phi Beta Lambda, the Student Marketing Association, Spanish Club, Delta Sigma Pi, and the Human Resources Association. She currently serves in leadership roles as the Vice President for the Student Marketing Association and the Vice President of Finance of Phi Beta Lambda.
