Here, the experts are lucky if they get to connect with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s something senior economics major Alli Jakubek is looking forward to this weekend, when she presents the interactive financial literacy game she designed for disadvantaged youth. \u201cDr. Humphrey inspires his students to get up, go out and <em>do<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A first-generation college student, Humphrey believes his blue-collar background gives him a perspective on poverty that many academics can\u2019t share. He maintains that professors can learn from their students as well as the other way around. The IMAGINE conference mirrors that philosophy, putting student presentations front and center. Experts are there to provide feedback and guidance.<\/p>\n<p>UMW seniors Mark Herring and Liam Missios will present their plans for a nonprofit to provide small, short-term loans for underserved people in the Fredericksburg area. Juniors Logan Burum and Hannah Rothwell will discuss the ethics of bringing service-based organizations to new communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe doesn&#8217;t just teach you the material, he teaches you how to be a person,\u201d Rothwell said of Humphrey, who hopes to bring the IMAGINE conference to Mary Washington. \u201cHe wants to build a better world, and that starts by building better people.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_88145\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-88145\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"88145\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2018\/03\/23\/umw-professor-launches-social-justice-conference\/two-a-day-video-44\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/03\/Two-a-day-video-44.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3000,2189\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Norm Shafer&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 5D Mark II&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;UMW students participating in the 2012, $2 a day challenge.(Photo by Norm Shafer).&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1333360026&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Norm Shafer 2011&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;320&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0003125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Two a day video 44\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;UMW students participate in the Two Dollar Challenge.
