OSU SIFE Regional Competition
Posted by admin in Announcements on March 27th, 2010
It’s that time of year again for SIFE Regional Competition. What does this mean? This means our SIFE team is now into overdrive creating our annual report, updating the website, preparing our presentation and looking forward to enjoy San Francisco!
This year the competition will be held in beautiful San Francisco on April 6th, home to many OSU alums and a perfect opportunity for OSU SIFE to visit again our friends we made during our campaign against hunger, the Hunger in the Homeland Tour project where we traveled around the country visiting hunger initiatives to see what works best.
More updates to come, but these next weeks to come will be very busy but we look forward to competition!
