On Saturday, August 29, SMSU SIFE conducted our annual Solar Salt Spectacular!  Again, this year was a successful fund raiser with about 10,480 pounds of salt delivered and sold to the supportive people of Marshall! In other words, we sold about $1400, much of which will go back to support the team!  We would like to say thanks to HyVee for providing the salt for us to sell and to everyone that bought...

This may sound cliche but SIFE really has changed my life.  My life would have probably changed anyway, but more then likely stayed pretty close to the same. As a freshman, I wasn’t sure if I could handle extra curricular activities and still keep up with classes. For that reason I didn’t join SIFE until a quarter way through my 2nd semester. My life changed from that moment! I went to...

Today, a few members and I helped arriving freshman into their dorms. As we did this we also handed out business cards and explained a little bit about ourselves and what SIFE is about. The only problem is it was hard to describe what SIFE is in only a few minutes. With that in mind, we created a short video highlighting some of the best reasons to join SIFE. If you have any questions you can email...

SIFE is just a wonderful organization that helps you find yourself. Well, at least that is what it’s doing for me anyways. I joined SIFE last year as a Freshman and haven’t regreted it. A couple months into my membership I made the SIFE Presentation Team, only because I needed something to do, right Sunshine?! lol Then before I knew it I was the director of Environmental Sustainability, a category...

It’s amazing to think about how much transpires in a year. Last year at this time I was not even a member of SIFE, but I joined SIFE in the Fall because I wanted to be a part of a professional organization. I wanted to have the opportunity to have a leadership role. In a few short weeks I was Ethics Director (in charge of completing projects in ethics category) and 10 months later I was elected...

Be sure to let us know what you think...
