Business School Faculty Lend Expertise in "BizTown"
Recently, School of Business Administration faculty spent a day volunteering at BizTown in Clinton, Tennessee. 112 fifth-grade students from North Middle School in Loudon County were assisted by faculty members Jim Hollingsworth, Dr. Kristina Kushnir, Bill Bergquist, Sharon Moore, Dick Grover, and Business School Dean Chip Bailey. BizTown is a simulated town created at the Hollingsworth Entrepreneurial Center of Junior Achievement were students work in assigned businesses and learn the basics of commerce and the economics system.
Through the program, students work, earn and spend money, make bank deposits and maintain a check book in order to gain a better understanding of financial literacy and how important education is in preparing them for their future work life.
Junior Achievement is the world's largest organization dedicated to educating students in grades K-12 about entrepreneurship, work readiness, and financial literacy through experiential, hands-on programs.
