This is a list of past projects we have organized over the past semesters. Most of them had to satisfy the judging criteria in order to qualify for the regional competition. However, some of them were just some fun fundraisers. For current project, please go to calendar.

• "The Dollar Drop" - Dollars were dropped around campus with notes attached asking to return the dollar to a certain office. This project tested how ethical the students on campus were.

• "Fiscal Fit Month" - 5 weeks of sessions for the students and community that explained different success skills and taught some financial literacy.
