SIFE
The Pitt-Bradford SIFE (Students In Free Enterprise) team is part of an international organization made up of college students from over 40 countries who make a difference in their communities through free enterprise projects. SIFE was started by corporate America in 1975 as a way to offer college students the opportunity to develop leadership, teamwork and communication skills through learning, practicing and teaching the principles of free enterprise.
Working in partnership with business and higher education, SIFE establishes student teams on university campuses, like ours. Our team is led by a faculty advisor, (called a Sam Walton Fellow) Diana Maguire. She challenges our SIFE team to develop community outreach projects that reach SIFE's five educational topics:
- Market Economics
- Success Skills
- Entrepreneurship
- Financial Literacy
- Business Ethics
