The San Antonio College Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) Team recently competed in the SIFE USA National Exposition in Dallas, where they were recognized for excellence in several competitions.

The team won 1st Runner-Up in the opening round of competition in the 2-year Division and 3rd Place in the Sam's Club Entrepreneurship competition presented to "the SIFE teams that were most effective in teaching entrepreneurship skills through outreach projects in their communities."

The SAC SIFE Team was also one of 11 finalists (out of 40 teams competing) for their one-minute PSA educating people about video piracy, in a competition held by the Motion Picture Association of America in partnership with SIFE. During the academic year, the SIFE team organized 19 projects in the community, including a week-long campus-wide project titled "Stamping out Piracy."
