Distinct Differences From Other Offerings

There are absolutely no dues or fees involved for participation. They only require a faculty advisor and students can start their own team.

There is no limit on the number of students a team can have.

These teams then compete nationally. They are judged by business leaders/sponsors who judge the teams on the impact that their projects have. The team that best uses entrepreneurial action to create opportunity nationally gets a chance to participate in the Enactus World Cup, held annually in different countries of the world. They believe competition is a big part of their network.

Access to global resources and business partners from different industries. Students get a chance to talk and relate with business tycoons, which can one day turn into recruitment opportunities.
