Ten BYU-Hawaii Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) members recently returned from Dallas, Texas, where they were able to secure a top-60 finish in the competition held during the organization's National Exposition. This places the BYUH SIFE group in the top 6% of all SIFE teams nationally.
During the past year, BYUH SIFE completed projects in countries such as China, India and the Philippines, as well as in Hawaii. The overall theme of SIFE is to "change the world" by teaching the importance of a free enterprise. Students complete educational and service projects in five areas: market economics, personal success skills, entrepreneurship, financial management, and ethics. The competition consists of an oral presentation and written report of the team's projects during the past year to a panel of judges.

A week-long Especially For Youth (EFY) program will be held at BYU-Hawaii June 25-29. EFY is a unique opportunity for youth ages 14-18 to grow spiritually, develop lasting friendships, and gain a better understanding of their individual worth in a caring, trusting, and accepting environment. BYU-Hawaii has hosted the Best of EFY, a one-day program in February, for many years. However, there is a need for the full week-long program to be held in Hawaii.
Sherrie Bangerter, Hawaii EFY administrator explains, “Three years ago, Pres. Shumway contacted BYU-Hawaii’s Center for Instructional Technology and Outreach (CITO) after receiving a letter from a mother expressing her heartfelt plea for BYU-Hawaii to offer a youth program similar to those offered at BYU Provo and Idaho, such as EFY. Her request was not the first.
