SIFE is a nonprofit organization that gives students the tools to learn the free enterprise system in a real working situation. SIFE challenges students on more than 800 college campuses nationwide to take what they're learning in the classroom and use their knowledge to better their communities. Guided by faculty advisors who are named Sam M. Walton Free Enterprise Fellows in honor of the late Wal-Mart founder, SIFE Teams establish a variety of community outreach programs that teach free enterprise. For example, they teach concepts such as budgeting, accounting and supply and demand. They help budding entrepreneurs get their plans off the ground and mentor at-risk students, inspiring them to reach for their dreams. Check out SIFE.org to learn more about SIFE.
Being able to impact the community surrounding NNU is one of the cornerstones of NNU's SIFE program. Each year, the SIFE team chooses many different projects to compete in at the Regional and National Competitions. Many of the projects that have been successful in the past are projects that have gained sustainability within the community. NNU SIFE is privileged to have local Business Advisory Board members to help with the decisions of the team along with Sam Walton Fellow, Dr. David Hougton.
