Here's another great opportunity for students to get involved at UNR: the Students in Free Enterprise Club. This club does community service in the fields of economics and free enterprise, and helps students acquire the knowledge and resources to create successful business ventures. The UNR SIFE club competes nationally and is attempting to qualify for international competitions. The club is sponsored by the Koch Foundation, and in the last two years has received $15,000 dollars from that organization alone to help them fund their operations and travel to the national competitions in Los Angeles. If you've got the entrepreneurial spirit, join the SIFE club! For more information, look them up on Facebook or check out the following article in the Nevada Sagebrush: http://nevadasagebrush.com/blog/2011/02/21/sife-club-comes-to-unr/. UNR SIFE meets every Tuesday night at 7pm in Ansari Business 210.
Next week, (Wednesday, March 7th), the UNR Economics Club is hosting John Farahi. Mr. Farahi is the president of Monarch Resort & Casino, the parent company of the Atlantis Casino. He is an entrepreneur and businessman, and was voted Entrepreneur of the Year for a large business by the Reno Gazette Journal.
