Clubs and Enactus

Entrepreneurship Club and Enactus

The WWU Enactus Chapter is part of an international organization that connects students through entrepreneurial-based projects. These projects empower students to transform opportunities into real, sustainable progress for themselves and their communities. We aspire to bring like-minded individuals together to meet the vision/mission of Enactus as well as the WWU core themes of excellence in thought, generosity in service, beauty in expression, and faith in God.

Enactus is a community of students, faculty, and business leaders committed to using the power of entrepreneurial action to enable human progress. In Enactus, students use business concepts to develop entrepreneurial projects that transform lives and shape a better, more sustainable world. Originally founded in 1975 as SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise), today Enactus has grown beyond the U.S. to encompass scores of countries around the globe.

Over the past few decades, WWU Enactus has won a numerous awards in regional and national competitions; but more importantly, we continue to engage in innovative projects that impact social enterprise and provide a hands-on way for student entrepreneurs to make a better world.
