UFSIFE Recruitment
Make a Difference!
Active on more than 1,500 college and university campuses in 44 countries, SIFE teams are creating economic opportunity for millions of people around the world.
The concept is simple – working as teams, SIFE students design educational outreach projects that help individuals in their communities develop a better understanding of the principles of free enterprise and how to use this information to empower themselves and achieve their dreams. As a SIFE student, you'll be a participant in one of the largest global student organizations. You'll play an active role in shaping the history of your generation and know that you have actually helped to change the world. You get to decide what projects to conduct, who to work with, how to coordinate projects, and how much time to invest on projects. There are no dues associated with participation in SIFE. In fact, the only investment you would be making would be an investment of your time.
UFSIFE is a 2 credit class meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 - 5 pm. If accepted, new members will be registered for the class. SIFE team members are expected to commit to 3 semesters in the class.
