SIFE, Students in Free Enterprise

Personal Growth Through Free Enterprise

SIFE is a global, non-profit organization that is literally changing the world through highly dedicated student teams on more than 1600 university campuses in 40 countries. SIFE offers students the opportunity to develop leadership, teamwork and communication skills through learning, practicing and teaching the principles of free enterprise, thereby improving the standard of living for millions in the process. Guided by distinguished faculty advisors and supported by businesses around the globe, SIFE Teams teach important concepts through educational outreach projects, including market economics, entrepreneurship, personal and financial success, and business ethics to better themselves, their communities and their countries.

Team History

Dr. William K.Dadson established the Lincoln University Students In Free Enterprise team in 1996. Its membership has grown from just 10 members to 30 over the years. Every year our team continues to grow in size, and develop the mind, body and soul of our students, members and youth and & adult groups. Dr.Dadson has accepted the faculty advisory role as the team’s “Sam M.Walton Fellow”(named for the late founder of Wal- Mart).  His task as the  advisor of the group is to be a coach, mentor, motivator, career advisor, and friend. Under the guidance of Dr. Dadson, the LU SIFE team has touched over 400,00 lives from Oxford, Pennsylvania to Tanzania in  East Africa.  Through various projects and workshops, the team has been able to increase awareness of the free enterprise system and  promote the goal of entrepreneurship throughout the world .

What We Do

The LU SIFE Team is a group of students from a variety of academic backgrounds who have come together to find new ways of helping our local, national and the international community to effect economic change. Even though SIFE is a club formed through the Business department here at Lincoln University, its membership hail from various academic disciplines. Everyone one from the majors of Accounting, Political Science, Finance & Banking, Computer Science, English, and the Physial Sciences, are or have been members of the LU SIFE team.  Simply put the LU SIFE is Looking for You! Throughout the academic year we work on a series of student driven projects to help educate and create economic change. The goal is to help our target groups and others understand the importance of the four educational goals of SIFE International:

Market Economics
Susscess Skills
Financial Literacy
Business Ethics

Entrepreneurship Drive & Development

To be a successful businessman or entrepreneur in the 21st century, it requires the following: initiative, drive/commitment, passion, creativity, knowledge, networking and building linkages/relationships. We create opportunities through workshops, forums, and seminars for students, youth & adult groups, faculty and staff to develop their entrepreneurial skills.

Market Economics

Knowledge of free enterprise society or economic system is very crucial for personal and business or investment decisions. In view of this fact, we create leadership platforms and opportunities through which we teach our students, youth & adult groups and members about the US and global economic systems. This is to explain how the forces of demand and supply interact to determine the direction of national economies, especially that of the United States of America. The bottom line is to help our students develop financial and economic literacy that can help them survive in a global competitive market.

Business Ethics

To succeed in the 21st century global market, business ethics is a unique moral value through which success can be achieved. It is like a pivot around which business or investment decisions evolves. Therefore, we expose and teach our students, youth & adult groups about business and social ethical values to give them skills necessary to help them succeed and survive in the competitive global market environments.

Financial Literacy

Financial education or literacy is very important in this present age of globalization. To succeed or survive in this present economic dispensation, financial planning for the future, money management skills, access to financial resources and capital formation and savings is very crucial. As a result, we teach our youth & adult groups, students and members about money management skills, financial planning, tax education, importance of savings, such as savings towards investments and retirements.
