About Ashland University Students in Free
Enterprise
 What is SIFE?
Founded in 1975 with the goal of developing
America's future business leaders, Students in
Free Enterprise (SIFE) is part of an
international non-profit organization made up of
college students from around the world who come
together to develop leadership, teamwork and
communication skills through learning,
practicing and teaching the principles of free
enterprise.
What does SIFE
do?
Throughout the year, Ashland University SIFE
creates a variety of projects with the goal of
empowering others by providing them with the
education and the tools necessary to be
successful in a free market economy.
In March, we
travel to Cleveland (Road Trip!!!) and
participate in the SIFE Regional Competition,
where we give a 24-minute presentation of all of
the projects that we have done over the course
of the previous year. We are judged on six
different criteria, including market economics,
success skills, entrepreneurship, financial
literacy, business ethics, and sustainability.
In two out of the past three years, we have won
the regional competition and traveled to Kansas
City and Dallas to represent the
Cleveland/Midwest region at the SIFE National
Competition.
 What does that
mean?
Basically, we think of ideas on how we can
teach people, from elementary students to
community members, and even entrepreneurs how to
be successful in business and in life. We work
with all age groups and education levels, and
have plenty of opportunities to learn and
network with professionals from a variety of
industries. We have a lot of fun, and if we work
hard enough, we are rewarded with a week-long
trip to the SIFE National Exposition in May.
How can I
join?
Any undergraduate student at Ashland
University is welcome to join. Our meetings are
typically held every other Tuesday in room 111
of the Dauch College of Business and Economics.
If you just want to find out more about what
SIFE is about, but are not sure if you want to
commit, you are more than welcome to sit in on
one of our meetings. To find out when our next
meeting is, email Alex Curavo at acuravo@ashland.edu, or call (419)
289-5228.
