(Worcester -- April 12, 2005) The Worcester State College SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) team received the First Runner-Up award and was named Rookie of the Year at the USA SIFE Regional Competition in Boston on April 4, 2005. 

The WSC SIFE team competed in League One of the competition against Boston University, Siena College, La Salle University, Suffolk University, and Maine Maritime Academy.  During the competition, they presented their marketing project, financial literacy project, mentoring project, and web design project and demonstrated how they are all designed to create a culture of participation through the teaching of free market principles. 

Since the competition, the SIFE members have been congratulated by many of the WSC college community as well as the Greater Worcester business community on the fantastic job they did at the competition.

SIFE extended their thanks to the Business Advisory Board members, the Worcester Business Journal, and all those who have supported the  SIFE team over the course of the year. 

Significantly, the whole team thanked their advisors, Dr. Jay Mahoney and Dr. Bonnie Orcutt, who provided them with the opportunity to become a part of Students in Free Enterprise. 

"We are very exited about the possibilities that the future holds for us and we look forward to the implementation and further development of our projects," said SIFE member Kelsey Thomassen.
