Taking advantage of opportunities outside of the classroom does more than connect you with your business-minded peers — participation in cocurricular activities also lets employers know you are a team player willing to take risks, put in the extra time and make an earnest effort to get the job done.
Nurture your entrepreneurial spirit with humanitarian-minded projects that enrich your resume and increase your community involvement. Colby-Sawyer’s chapter of Enactus, an international organization dedicated to improving the world through the positive power of business, offers opportunities to work with faculty, local business leaders and peers on projects that achieve tangible results for the community.
Enactus not only provides the experience and contacts necessary to build a successful career, participation also develops your knowledge in literacy, business ethics, market economics, environmental sustainability, success skills, entrepreneurship and international development. Enactus competitions present opportunities to present your work to business leaders who rate the quality and impact of your project against other colleges and universities — Colby-Sawyer’s chapter has taken three first-place regional wins, earning them a spot at the national competition. Learn more about this community of students, educators and executives at enactus.org.
