SIFE Alumni Coach New SIFE Students

This past semester, as SIFE teams around the country participated in Walgreens SIFE Team Training Conferences, 30 SIFE alumni served on leadership panels. They fi elded questions from current SIFE students about their experiences and how SIFE has aided them in their professional careers.

These training conferences help SIFE students understand how to develop new programs, recruit other team members and strengthen their presentations. They were also able to discuss career opportunities and network with company representatives from 24 different SIFE partners.

SIFE thanks all the alumni who helped make the fall training conferences benefi cial for the current students.
