TITUSVILLE, April 7 -- The University of Pittsburgh at Titusville Students in Free Enterprise Team matched its educational outreach projects against the programs of other SIFE Teams at the 2003 SIFE Regional Competition and Career Opportunity Fair held March 31 in Cleveland. The UPT SIFE Team was named Regional Champions in the two-year league and will advance to the SIFE National Competition in Kansas City on May 11 where they will compete with 22 other winners from around the country. SIFE encourages students to take what they are learning in the classroom and apply it to real-life situations, and to use their knowledge to better their communities through educational outreach projects. The projects presented by the UPT SIFE Team included: E-SIFE School Stores, SAFE (Seniors Against Fraud via Education), Firm Up Your Future, and Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Teams were judged on the effectiveness of their projects during the 24- minute presentation and were evaluated on creativity and innovation, results of education programs, success in utilizing resources and documentation of activities. UPT SIFE students also met with corporate representatives from the Cleveland business community to discuss job opportunities. Melanie O. Anderson, UPT SIFE advisor, was named a Sam M. Walton Free Enterprise Fellow for the third consecutive year in recognition of her leadership and support of the SIFE program. Anderson noted, “The SIFE students worked hard this year delivering 16 projects to the college and community. The success at the regional competition is evidence of their hard work and enthusiasm in teaching others about Free Enterprise.” For more information about SIFE, call 1-800-677-SIFE, or contact Melanie Anderson at 827-4415
