SIFE won't STFU

Josef Shannon (extreme left) posed with his teammates from San Diego City College after winning the Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) regional competition in Los Angeles, Calif., March 21. The team is now poised to compete at the next level, in Dallas, Texas, May 5-9.

SIFE teams are invited to showcase the effect of their outreach projects at annual competitions judged by panels of business leaders. Teams share the impact made in their communities along five educational topics: market economics, success skills, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and business ethics.

Working in partnership with business and higher education, SIFE mobilizes university students around the world to utilize knowledge learned in the classroom to address real world business and economic issues in their communities.

SIFE students form teams on their university campuses and develop outreach projects that teach market economics, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, personal success skills, and business ethics. Through these projects, SIFE is empowering university students to make a difference today while realizing the full potential they will have to create a better world as the entrepreneurs and business leaders of tomorrow.
