SAN MARCOS, Texas – On Monday, April 10, 2017, Texas State University’s Entrepreneurial Action Us, ENACTUS, team finished in the top 4 in the Regional ENACTUS competition in Dallas, Texas and will go on to compete in Nationals on May 23^rd in Kansas City, Missouri.

Accompanied by Vicki West, the former World champion and three-time National champion, ENACTUS showcased their projects, each based on the criteria “what is ‘entrepreneurial action,’” “how are people ‘empowered,’” “what are ‘livelihoods,’” and “what makes an ENACTUS project ‘economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable?’”

Each year, Texas State’s ENACTUS team organizes and participates in different projects that bring to life their learning philosophy “tell me, and I will forget; show me, and I might remember. Involve me, and I will understand.”

From raising chickens on a local farm to creating a business aimed to guide individuals through their technological issues, each award-winning project is created, held and run by ENACTUS students.

Aside from winning the annual Sales competition, the ultimate goal of all projects is to improve the standard of living for the community of San Marcos.
