Mission

The SIFE mission is to bring together the top leaders of today and tomorrow to create a better, more sustainable world through the positive power of business. Considering relevant social, environmental and economic factors, SIFE teams effectively empower people in need by applying business and economic concepts and an entrepreneurial approach to improve the quality of life and standard of living for their target audience. 

2010-2011 Community Outreach Projects

SIFE teams put the positive power of business to work through community outreach projects. In addition to activities related to preparing for regional competition, FSU's SIFE team is engaged in the following community outreach programs:

  • Campbell's Let's Can Hunger Challenge (click here for competition Rules and here for the Registration Form)
  • Sam's Club Environmental Sustainability Challenge (this project is being supported by Sustainable Sandhills and Diamond Window Tint of Fayetteville)
  • Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation Community Improvement Challenge
Competitions

SIFE competitions are challenging, team-oriented events that create a sense of accountability and motivation for teams to continually improve the quality of their projects. They also provide an opportunity for collaboration and best-practice sharing, further strengthening the value of the learning experience and the overall effectiveness of the program.

Every country that operates a SIFE program is eligible to organize a national competition for the teams in their country. Countries with larger programs will often hold a series of regional competitions, with the winners from these events qualifying to participate in the national competition. The National Champion team from each country is then invited to compete at the SIFE World Cup.

Membership

Membership is free and open to all FSU students regardless of major, classification, or GPA. Students must purchase a team T-shirt. Please contact Bertrinia Koonce-Fogg for membership information.
