Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE)
SIFE is a global, non-profit organization that is literally changing
the world through student teams on more than 1600 university campuses in
40 countries. SIFE gives students the tools to learn the free enterprise
system in a real working situation. SIFE challenges students on college
campuses nationwide to take what they're learning in the classroom and
use their knowledge to better their communities. For the first time,
Central Methodist University has established a SIFE Team and will be
taking their place alongside other SIFE Teams around the world.
SIFE offers these students the opportunity to develop leadership,
teamwork and communication skills through learning, practicing and
teaching the principles of free enterprise. Every day, out of their own
initiative, SIFE students make a difference in their community by
helping people develop a better understanding of how our free enterprise
system works and how to use this information to empower themselves and
achieve new successes.
Beyond the classroom
Working as teams, SIFE students design educational outreach projects
that help individuals in their communities develop a better
understanding of the principles of free enterprise and how to use this
information to empower themselves and achieve their dreams. SIFE Teams
take what they learn in the classroom and apply it to real world
challenges.
The CMU SIFE Team has begun working with the Fayette Chamber of Commerce
to improve communications with member organizations, provide marketing
ideas and teach business ethics to local businesses.
