St. Norbert College's Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) team recently won the regional title at the annual SIFE Regional Competition in Minneapolis, MN. SNC SIFE will now move on to the national competition in Philadelphia from May 10-12. SIFE, which is located on over 800 campuses across the nation, was established at SNC in 2001. The SIFE team uses the ideas and concepts learned in the classroom to create a better, more sustainable world through the positive power of business. The team works with the local community and area businesses on projects in six areas: market economics, entrepreneurship, success skills, financial literacy, ethics and environmental sustainability. Every year, SIFE teams from around the world cumulate what they have done throughout the year into a presentation and a report that they present at their regional competition.
Although the SNC SIFE team has had previous success at the regional competition, when the members arrived at the SIFE competition in Minneapolis most of them were doubtful and nervous. The team needed to put the final touches on their presentation, which would be judged by business executives and CEOs from across the nation. However, once team members Michelle Keehan '10, Anh Tran '11 and Joe Klauer '09 started the presentation, the anxiety melted away. The team felt overjoyed and relieved at the quality of the presentation. The time St. Norbert SIFE team spent in Minneapolis was truly a blast. They look forward to the national competition in Philadelphia.
