Judson College’s Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) team was one of 500 teams selected among 840 to compete at one of the 17 regional competitions held in the United States. The team will compete in Atlanta April 4.
SIFE teams are comprised of students who serve their community by developing projects that take what they learn in the classrooms about business and using it to solve real-world problems for real people.
The program concentrates on five areas: entrepreneurship, market economics, success skills, financial literacy and business ethics.
Students are led by faculty advisers known as Sam Walton Fellows. Judson’s Sam Walton Fellow is Debbie Kornegay, serving her fifth year in this role.
SIFE teams present the results of their 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.
Regional champions will advance to the SIFE U.S.A. National Exposition hosted by the Kansas City Business Community in Kansas City, Mo.
Judson SIFE has advanced to the national exposition two of the past three years.
