SIFE Team Wins Regional Competition

The Southwest Minnesota State University Students in Free Enterprise club claimed its eighth straight regional SIFE competition in Minneapolis in March. The win qualifies the group to compete in the national competition in Minneapolis May 11-13. The club's projects include helping students in three countries start their own greeting card businesses; teaching at-risk high school students about budgeting, the job application process and other life skills; opening a retail outlet store; establishing an online blog promoting the discussion of ethical scenarios from different cultures from around the world; and individually tutoring students to help them pass standardized test exams.
