About Us
EN•ACT•US
Enactus is a community of student, academic and business leaders committed to using the power of entrepreneurial action to enable human progress. We establish student programs on campuses across the nation. Enactus students apply business concepts to develop community outreach projects, transform lives and shape a better, more sustainable world.
entrepreneurial—having the perspective to see an opportunity and the talent to create value from that opportunity;
action—the willingness to do something and the commitment to see it through even when the outcome is not guaranteed;
us—a group of people who see themselves connected in some important way; individuals that are part of a greater whole.
About our Team
The La Sierra University Enactus Team is one of over 1,700 teams in thirty-six countries using the positive power of business to improve the quality of life and standard of living for people in need. Our team operates as a catalyst for sustainable development, ensuring that its transformative work can grow and continue in the future even without further Enactus’ involvement.
Our Enactus members from across La Sierra University work together, applying all that they learn in the classroom, and design projects to address some of the most difficult problems facing our world today. From transforming a shuttle bus into a mobile classroom, to providing displaced families with micro-loans and education to start new businesses, to using Bubble Wrap® to teach young students about ethics, we put our own education and creativity to work in creating value and making a difference.
Being a student is about more than paying tuition or enrolling in a course. To be a student is to prove the possible, to go out into the world as a catalyst for transformation. And when you see what just a few La Sierra University students can do, imagine what is possible for students all over the world!
