Salina, Kan., (March 10, 2011) - The K-State Salina Students In Free Enterprise team will host a viewing of their regional competition presentation open to the public.  Students will present March 11, at 8 a.m. in the College Center Conference Room on the K-State Salina campus.  The SIFE team has made headlines all year long and is striving to do so once again.  These young men and women have worked hard and are ready for competition.

On March 17, SIFE members will be traveling to Dallas, Texas where they will be presenting the results of their community projects for the year.  The students will be presenting to a panel of judges about the projects they have done and the impact that each project has made.  Teams are then ranked according to impact.  The top teams will advance to the national competition held in Minneapolis, Minn.

 

The students have seven minutes to set-up.  During this time judges read the team's annual report.  The team has 24 minutes to present their findings and then five minutes for question and answer.  These times are exact as there is an official time keeper in each room.  If a team is in the middle of a presentation the time keeper will stop them, notify them that time is up and the next phase will commence. 

 

SIFE has competed in seven regional competitions and has advanced to the national competitions three times.  The team is confident in the work that they have done this year and are looking to advance to nationals again. 

 

"We take this competition very seriously," said Kristin Scheele, team president.  "The team has worked hard all year long and this is our time to shine.  We show up in our business suits, a smile and a passion for business.  We show them what the K-State Salina SIFE team is all about."

 

Come out and support your local Wildcats as they get ready to represent the Salina community at SIFE Regionals.
