The Dallas Hilton Anatole Hotel was the site for the 2010 Students In Free Enterprise (S.I.F.E.) Regional Expo, in which the Prairie View A&M University S.I.F.E. team received second place honors.
The competition attracted some 900 students from 60 universities from across the country.
This year marked the 25th Anniversary for the team which had hoped to better its placing since its chartering at the university in 1985. The 24 students making the trip along with the advisor, Frederick V. Roberts, and Mrs. Glenda Jones, director for Career Services was the largest contingent ever to represent the university.
“The team has everything to be proud of,” said Roberts, the team’s Sam Walton Fellow. “This was one of the groups of students to attend and I am proud of the amount of work and time they devoted to the projects. While we wanted to win badly, there is solace in knowing that next year could be better.
