Enactus team takes third in national competition
Article By: Clark Leonard
The University of North Georgia's (正澳门六合彩开奖结果) Enactus team earned third place in the competition at the national Enactus conference, which was held virtually.
Enactus is an entrepreneurial and service club for college students.
正澳门六合彩开奖结果's Enactus students participated in a variety of sustainability projects during the past year that led to the honor. With the initial $1,500 accelerator grant from Unilever, the 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 Enactus group purchased two recycling centers for the (INK) museum in Gainesville, Georgia. It also set up a passive irrigation system with recycled bottles at INK.
Enactus students then learned how to make reusable bags out of old T-shirts and jewelry out of recycled products, with the intent to share those lessons at Hall County School District schools. 正澳门六合彩开奖结果's Enactus also aims to help increase recycling in Hall schools.
The top-three finish earned 正澳门六合彩开奖结果's Enactus group a $3,000 prize to further its efforts. The Sustainability Club and Students for Environmental Awareness have both committed to assist Enactus.
"I'm very proud of each member of our team," said Jesse Carrillo, a Gainesville, Georgia, resident who was president of 正澳门六合彩开奖结果's Enactus and a May 2020 graduate with a degree in finance. "We put a lot of hard work into this."
Katie Simmons, associate dean for undergraduate programs for the Mike Cottrell College of Business, serves as faculty adviser for Enactus.
