SIFE faculty advisors are "teachers" in the truest sense of the word. SIFE offers these professors a new teaching tool to enhance the educational experiences of their students. Their community becomes the classroom and learning laboratory through which they connect to and challenge their students. Their satisfaction is driven by the personal growth and success of their students, so to them they give their all. SIFE faculty advisors are teachers, mentors, coaches and career counselors. SIFE students count them among the most influential people in their lives.
