SaveAway®️ seeks to promote a new model of debt-free commerce that prioritizes financial wellness and sustainable purchasing practices. The goal is to create an inclusive environment where both buyers and sellers can engage in transactions that are financially responsible and equitable. Students will explore the intersection of social justice and commerce, applying classroom knowledge to develop strategies that prevent impulsive credit use and foster long-term financial health. The project will involve researching current consumer behaviors, identifying barriers to debt-free purchasing, and proposing actionable solutions that align with SaveAway®️'s mission.
The deliverables for this project may include a series of well-researched exhibits that can be across a variety of media - Social, Video, PR -- to advocate for debt-free commerce pathways as enablers of financial wellness and social justice. Putting strategies, tactics, and a set of educational marketing materials that you will have put together to actually engage actual users and partner to join this growing community to humanize commerce will be how the rubber meets the road to translate classroom learnings into real-world impact ushering in sustainable purchasing practices.
