SIFE - Students in Free Enterprise

SIFE’s 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.

              

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. 

Students can earn one academic credit for each semester of participation in SIFE. This is earned outside the classroom, through project participation. Students also gain access to SIFE-only scholarship, internship, and job opportunities through the SIFE corporate sponsor network
