Welcome to Students in Free Enterprise!

SIFE is a global non-profit organization active in more than 40 countries. SIFE is funded by financial contributions from corporations, entrepreneurs, foundations, government agencies and individuals. Working in partnership with business and higher education, SIFE establishes student teams on university campuses. These teams are led by faculty advisors and they are challenged to develop community outreach projects that reach SIFE's five educational topics:

    * Market Economics
    * Success Skills
    * Entrepreneurship
    * Financial Literacy
    * Business Ethics

SIFE team members leverage their personal educational experiences, the expertise of their faculty advisors, the support of their local business advisory boards, and the resources of their institutions to implement programs that create real economic opportunities for members of their communities. The effectiveness of their programs is judged at competition. Each national SIFE organization conducts a national competition, which is judged by leaders from its business community. At competition, SIFE teams present the results of their educational outreach projects and compete to determine which team was most successful at creating economic opportunity for others. SIFE National Champion teams advance to the top level of competition, the SIFE World Cup.  (From www.SIFE.org)

Website - HELP!

I have been working hard on getting the website up. Many of the pages are there. Again, as with the original website, the issue will be content.

Look around the website. Pretty much, what is up now, is the content that I grabbed from the old site. If something is missing. Take it upon yourself and write it. The Support SIFE section is nonexistent - This section should include the ways people can support us (BAB membership, donations, etc.). The press section - we dont have any press-ready information; it is something we should work on. When our publications are ready, we'll also include them in there.

I know we have a lot to do and as the days go by, it seems like more is added to the list. Much of this wont take time, but it is a lot for only a couple people to do.

Update on website

I am working on redesigning the website and implementing some new tools. This should make updating easier and the site itself more user friendly.
