News from SIFE Nationals:
PBU-SIFE competed against two national champions in round
one of the SIFE USA National Competition -- the toughest competition we have ever faced. Despite a near-perfect presentation by our
team and an excellent question and answer period, we did not place at the
competition. Drury University, a former
national champion, will advance to the "sweet 16" tomorrow. The University of Arizona, last year's
champion, was also eliminated.
PBU-SIFE is in the news!
Representatives of our team were chosen to represent the Philadelphia
region to the press last week and as a result, Clark Hoober and Sarah Penn were
interviewed for television and the Philadelphia Inquirer Monday. Sunday night, Clark and Gail Benchener, Assistant Professor, PBU-SIFE
Sam Walton Fellow, were interviewed
for radio spots which were aired on NPR - National Public Radio -
and KYW 1060AM. Governor Ed Rendell also
mentioned PBU specifically along with Elizabethtown College and our service
projects in his speech to the convention of 3,000. Clark and Rachel Park met with the Governor
for a photo opportunity to represent SIFE USA after his presentation.
