The mission of the Christopher Newport University Center for Economic Education is to promote economic education to K-12 area students, in order to help them understand better the economy and economic principles, and thereby develop decision-making skills necessary to be informed citizens, productive employees and wise consumers. To achieve its goals CNU Center for Economic Education offers seminars, workshops and courses to area K-12 teachers. It also provides teachers with teaching materials, most of these free of charge. The CNU Center for Economic Education is one of twelve such centers in the Commonwealth of Virginia. All centers are members of the Virginia State Council on Economic Education. The Virginia Council on Economic Education sponsors the programs of all the centers.
