Tyler Leung ('14)

Ambitious, athletic and a soft spot for a great smile? Total-package Tyler Leung makes us swoon in this week’s Campus Cutie interview!
 

Name: Tyler Leung
 
Age: 19
 
Class: Sophomore
 
Hometown: Hong Kong
 

Her Campus (HC): First things first … do you have a girlfriend?
Tyler Leung (TL): No, no girlfriend. Single.
 
HC: We’ll get back to that later! So can you tell us a little bit more about this start-up club we’ve heard you’re working on?
TL: It’s called SIFE—it’s Students In Free Enterprise. The main goal is to come up with projects or business ideas that could help sustain the community. Basically, we get funded by actual companies in the area, and they give us the money to implement these projects. So you present your project, and then you get the money and then you put it into action. Our goal is to, starting on a small scale, do projects in Winston-Salem and eventually go international. We could go to Nigeria, China, South America – all these different places and try and come up with projects there.
 
HC: Wow, how did you come up with this idea?
TL: One of my good friends’ older brother was in a SIFE organization at a different school, and they went to some of these international competitions. I think his brother actually won one of them. So he contacted me and asked me if I wanted to start this with him. And I was like, yeah, this sounds like a great idea.
