SIFE allows me to incorporate my developing knowledge in business with community service. I like that SIFE provides both tangible and intangible benefits. SIFE provides the opportunity to work as a team and a chance to impress recruiters and executives of some major companies. More importantly though, SIFE provides a link between students and the community. I get the opportunity to create a significant impact in someone's life.

I decided to join Students in Free Enterprise out of my own self-interest, but I grew to enjoy the work and really appreciate the change I was making. SIFE combines service that actually impacts the community and a business environment that helps me stay focused and achieved our desired goals. This past year, I was the project manager for Money Matters, a 4-part series that helped improve Financial Literacy among UGA students. We covered topics such as saving and investing for retirement, leases, and the causes and results of the recent financial crisis, and we were able to impact over 150 students.

The fact that SIFE also allows for career advancement through networking opportunities and exposure to employers is just an added benefit.
