91ÇÑ×Ó SIFE team to National Expo again
For the sixth consecutive year, the 91ÇÑ×Ó State College Students in Free Enterprise team will compete at the annual National Exposition, which will be May 22-24 in Kansas City, Mo. The team qualified by being one of nine champions crowned at the regional competition in Denver on April 4. Twenty-five teams participated.
Dr. Rick Koza, 91ÇÑ×Ó State’s team sponsor, said the 91ÇÑ×Ó team was the only one to present to a “full house” at Denver, and received a standing ovation when it was finished.
In addition to the traditional competition, 91ÇÑ×Ó State swept its six-member league in the event’s four special national business categories -- entrepreneurship, personal financial success skills, business ethics and free market economics.
91ÇÑ×Ó State also qualified as a national finalist in “Polsky Personal Investing to Achieve Financial Independence.” 91ÇÑ×Ó State was the only team at the Denver competition to qualify as a finalist in all four special competitions and the Polsky contest.
The 91ÇÑ×Ó State team, which has combined for more than 2,700 hours in projects in the 91ÇÑ×Ó area this year, was awarded a $900 grant to continue its financial literacy activities.
The other teams in 91ÇÑ×Ó’s league were Black Hills State University, University of Northern Colorado, Colorado State University-Pueblo, Midland Lutheran College and Rocky Mountain College. Midland Lutheran also earned championship status.
