The St. Gregory’s University Students In Free Enterprise team finished first runner-up Tuesday at the Dallas SIFE USA Regional Competition.
The event was one of 12 SIFE USA Regional Competitions being held across the United States in March and April.
As part of the competition, the St. Gregory’s University group presented a report of its year-long community outreach projects to a panel of business leaders. The team finished first runner-up in League 5, which included Redlands Community College, Southwestern Adventist University and Collin County Community College.
“There were some tough teams there, so we were happy with how we finished,” said SGU SIFE project manager Mario Ayala. “Next year, we’d like to take it a step further and win regionals so we can go to nationals. We want to take those projects that we were successful with this year and expand them and also come up with new projects.”
During this academic year, the St. Gregory’s SIFE team organized a number of projects, including presentations on credit literacy, character development, professional etiquette and working with Shawnee charity Labor of Love on finding jobs for the homeless. Through its “Dress for Success” fashion show, the team instructed their fellow students on knowing the proper attire to wear in a professional atmosphere and for interviews.
SIFE is an international non-profit organization with more than 42,000 active students in 40 countries. The organization works with leaders in business and higher education to mobilize university students to make a difference in their communities while developing the skills to become socially responsible business leaders. The SGU SIFE team was founded in 1999.
