LSUS has initiated a Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) chapter in the College of Business, which students of all majors are welcome to join.
The national SIFE organization helps develop partnerships between business and higher education. SIFE student teams are led by faculty advisors and they are challenged to develop community outreach projects that reach SIFE's five educational topics:
- Market Economics
- Success Skills
- Entrepreneurship
- Financial Literacy
- Business Ethics
SIFE team members leverage their personal educational experiences, the expertise of their faculty advisors, the support of their local business advisory boards, and the resources of their institutions to implement programs that create real economic opportunities for members of their communities. The effectiveness of their programs is judged at competition. Each national SIFE organization conducts a national competition, which is judged by leaders from its business community. At competition, SIFE teams present the results of their educational outreach projects and compete to determine which team was most successful at creating economic opportunity for others. SIFE National Champion teams advance to the top level of competition, the SIFE World Cup.
