Business Administration Clubs

Student Business and Accounting Association (SBA2)
SBA2 is designed to introduce you to the business and accounting world through on-site visits to various companies, including the Federal Reserve Bank, Pepsi-Cola Bottling Corp., Moog, and R.D. Murray. Visits typically include interviews with executives and managers, so you'll hear first-hand about their work experiences and suggestions to get your career jump-started. As a member of SBA2, you'll develop teamwork, communication and project management skills, among other abilities. You'll also receive peer support and mentoring. Membership is open to all majors.

Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE)
Active on more than 1,200 college and university campuses in 31 countries, Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) encourages you to take what you've learned in the classroom, apply it to real-life situations and use that knowledge to better your community through educational outreach projects. Hilbert SIFE team members take the projects from start to finish, handling all planning, management and implementation.

Among the many diverse SIFE projects at Hilbert have been a SIFE board game, a two-mile "moon" or after-dark walk-a-thon, a craft fair, lectures, and "It's Economic" competitions. By working on these and other projects, you'll develop leadership, teamwork and communication skills through learning, practicing and teaching principles about free enterprise.

You can learn more about the international SIFE organization by visiting it online.

Hilbert SIFE Café
The coffee is on and the baked goods are warm, so why not drop by for a visit?

One of the most successful SIFE projects has been the opening of the Hilbert SIFE Café, making it the first student-run, on-campus eatery at a Western New York college. Opened in 2002, the café was funded by a $10,000 challenge grant from Rich Products Corp., a gift that will also assist in establishing a scholarship fund for Hilbert SIFE students.

The SIFE Café offers a variety of eatery items to the Hilbert community. And it's completely managed by SIFE students. To get a taste of what's available, stop by the:
