Saint Francis University Enactus chapter of the international, non-profit Enactus organization brings together a diverse network of university students, academic professionals, and industry leaders for the shared mission of creating a better, more sustainable world through the positive power of business. As a team we focus our energy around improving economic, social and environmental issues globally by a "Think global, act local" approach. These focal points allow us to empower others while the community prospers from our efforts. The Saint Francis University Enactus (formerly SIFE) team was founded by Dr. Randy Frye, dean and Professor of Business Administration, and a small group of business students in 1998. Its mission has been to utilize collegiate student engagement to help others understand how the free enterprise system works ethically in the global marketplace. The Saint Francis University Enactus team strives to act in a manner that Saint Francis of Assisi, our patron Saint, would operate in the Marketplace if he were alive today. Our one simple purpose is to make a meaningful difference or contribution to the global community we are a part of. The efforts of our Enactus chapter have impacted thousands in our community. Saint Francis University Enactus has earned several regional championships and has placed at nationals, in addition to a variety of other awards.
