What is SIFE?
Students in Free Enterprise,
(SIFE) is a not-for-profit organization supported by individuals,
foundations, and corporations whose mission is to build collegiate SIFE
Teams who teach free enterprise in order to better individuals,
communities, and countries. SIFE's purpose is accomplished through the
SIFE Team's outreach projects where students and faculty involve the
community in the free enterprise system, providing the students with an
opportunity to teach others what they have learned.
