Webster University SIFE

We are a mechanism to enhance one’s own career path in their current field of study.

Webster University’s SIFE is a part of a global non-profit organization. It is comprised of students
who work as a team in order to mold and fashion the potentiality of each individual
by using various strategies and principles of free enterprise.

There are six criteria that SIFE enthusiastically practice to spread this gained knowledge with the entire community:

Success Skills
Market Economics
Entrepreneurship (Education, Consulting)
Financial Literacy/ Financial Management
Business ethics
Sustainability (how do we recruit, get media attention, how are we organized, how do we get support from the dean and the institution we are affiliated with, how do we get funding, credit/no-credit, how do we tie into our advisory board)
