The Economic Literacy project, an ADP initiative in partnership with  Up to Us, helped students increase their knowledge of the U.S. national debt, fiscal policy, and overall financial literacy. Cohort members contributed to 2021-2022 Economic Literacy Project Toolkit in order to share how their integrated economic literacy into curricular and co-curricular projects at their institutions. 

The National Debt Dialogue , a collaboration stemming from the Economic Literacy Project with Up to Us and envisioned and produced this month by Illinois State University, provided a virtual space for faculty, staff, and students from across the country to deliberate about the future of our economy. More than 50 participants engaged in deep discussions about the national U.S. debt, competing priorities, and how to encourage an equitable future.
