Westminster College Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) team students recently competed in a national business competition, "Duel in the Desert," held in Tuscon, Ariz.
The team members are: Sybil Feightner, a senior accounting major from Mantua, Ohio; Lindsay Lutes, a senior mathematics major from Grove City; and Lauren Scheller, a junior business administration from Orlando, Fla.
"We were presented a problem that centered around a family that was in financial crisis," Feightner said. "The teams had to construct short, intermediate, and life-time solutions."
"The 18 teams were divided into four leagues, and only the top team in each league advanced," Lutes said. "William and Mary College, which included some MBAs, won our league, but we were told that it was hard to decide between them and us."
"Westminster courses gave me the knowledge to compete," Feightner said. "I learned a lot about more about mortgages in the competition."
