Team UWEC
 
In Septemeber 2003, three students and their advisor took on the challenge of creating UW-Eau Claire's first Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) Team. We strive to improve the Eau Claire community, establish UW-Eau Claire SIFE in the minds of local businesses and organizations, and further develop team members' skills.
 
In April 2004, UW-Eau Claire SIFE was named "Rookie of the Year" at the SIFE United States Regional Competition sponsored by REGIS Corporation.
