Join SIFE – Students in Free Enterprise
From LAHer Liuna Fekravar, founding member of the UT chapter of SIFE:
SIFE, an international nonprofit organization that challenges students to use economic concepts in order to develop outreach projects to improve the quality of life and standard of living of those in need. SIFE combines analytical thinking skills with a passion for serving one’s community in an effort to actually solve local problems.
Developing these projects and then competing (the organization competes regionally, nationally, and then internationally every year) requires more than just vocational skills – we are looking to recruit a diverse team of creative, intelligent, and passionate students, traits that I know a number of LAH students hold.
Our website is www.texassife.org and our membership application is due September 11th: https://spreadsheets.google.com/a/utexas.edu/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dEd6YnZZc09UaWRnSTdPQ043MWxvd1E6MQ
