Faculty members interested in utilizing the
Annual Challenge as a part of their
course can take advantage of our Faculty
Module, designed in collaboration with
faculty members who have participated and
mentored students in our programs in the
past. This Module makes participation in
the Annual Challenge more accessible to a
greater number of students.
Programs
iOme Ambassadors engage students across
the country to set up iOme Challenge
chapters on their campus as a platform to
facilitate conversations in their community
on the issues of long-term financial security
and its impact on the society. Ambassadors
host events, plan programs, and execute
campaigns to raise awareness. Their work
is shared with their peers and others across
the country, including decision-makers in
Washington D.C.
Our signature program challenges college
students to compete to find innovative
solutions to long-term financial security
problems of their generation by working with
their peers to research the issues, write a
paper that is both politically and economically
sound, and then use the paper to produce
a Public Service Announcement (PSA). Their
research driven ideas are then shared with
business community and policymakers in
Washington, D.C. and beyond.
Each year, we select Top 5 Videos from the Challenge and
invite the public to vote. We harness the competitive
spirit of the individual schools and collaborate with The
Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s Money Smart Week
program to harness the attention of thousands and give
this contest a special attention. In 2014, over 23,000
people viewed the top videos!
Measure of Millennials:
As the voice of a generation, we like to ask
a lot of questions and derive our ideas from
data. Therefore, from time to time, we
conduct a national study of a segment of
the Millennials to get their pulse on a variety
of issues.
