Bringing classroom learning to life through service
We are Vanguard University’s local chapter of Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE), an international non-profit organization that works in partnership with business and higher education. SIFE mobilizes students to discover their own potential by creating economic opportunity for others through community outreach projects. SIFE is active on 1,800 college and university campuses in 48 countries.
Our Mission
History
Our chapter of Students in Free Enterprise was formed in Spring 2006 by students in Vanguard's community. One student in particular, Kristi Mederos, was involved with an internship for Advantage Sales and Marketing in which she learned the importance of belonging to an organization like SIFE. SIFE would help students gain real world experience to complement their academic education. This event created a passion to launch a SIFE team at Vanguard before she graduated in May. Kristi persuaded Business Professor Bonni Stachowiak to be the faculty adviser for SIFE and the rest is history.
Since 2006, Vanguard University SIFE has focused on teaching innovative techniques for achieving success through teamwork and the positive power of business in Southern California.
