Majors are also encouraged to become actively involved in Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE). SIFE members learn, teach, and practice free enterprise by conducting projects in the schools and community. These projects, as well as regional and national competitions, provide students with better communications skills, creativity, team-building, and management skills to become the leaders of the future. SIFE's Learning Philosophy: "Tell me and I will forget, show me and I might remember, involve me and I will understand." Through active involvement in these organizations, students have an unique opportunity to interact with faculty on a one-to-one basis, a situation usually found only in the graduate school experience. This is a welcome opportunity for the student to test out areas of interest with a knowledgeable and understanding faculty member.
