SIFE @ Susquehanna University

SIFE students form teams that serve their communities by developing projects that take what they are learning in their classrooms about business and use it to solve real world problems for real people. Business executives support the program through corporate donations, personal contributions and the gift of their time.

The SIFE program concentrates on six areas: entrepreneurship, market economics, success skills, financial literacy, business ethics and environmental sustainability.

The students are led by faculty advisors who challenge them to develop projects that specifically meet the unique needs of their communities. Their efforts help aspiring entrepreneurs, struggling business owners, low income families and children experience success.

SIFE teams present the results of their community projects annually at regional, national and international competitions. Business executives judge the competitions and select the winners based on which teams they believe were most effective at educating others through their projects.
