PBU's SIFE Headed to National Competition

PBU’s SIFE headed to Philly for national contest

Philadelphia Biblical University’s Students in Free Enterprise group is headed to Philadelphia this week for a national competition.

The team recently advanced by placing first in their league at the spring regional championships. The group highlighted 12 of their 27 community service-based projects to industry leaders from Fortune 500 companies. Their work includes: partnership with the YWCA assisting unemployed workers, helping college students develop financial literacy, inspiring young entrepreneurs in inner city schools, and assisting businesses in adopting environmentally-friendly practices.

PBU also earned a top 20 national finalist award in market economics for their work with entrepreneurs in impoverished areas of the Ukraine. The college students funded loans for small businesses and taught camps for unemployed people in that country with Hope International.
