Participating students use business†concepts to develop community outreach projects, transform lives and shape a†better, more sustainable world.
During this academic year, the NTCC Enactus†team organized 14 projects impacting both the local community and the world including,†most notably, the production of 18 clay pot water filters that are being sent†to Haiti this summer for filtering water in several Haitian villages.
The culmination of the Enactus program is an†annual series of competitions that provide a showcase for teams to present the†results of their projects and be evaluated by business leaders serving as†judges. Teams compete first at the regional and national levels, then at†the international level when the national champion teams from each country meet†at the Enactus World Cup.
As an Enactus U.S. Regional Champion, the NTCC†Enactus team now advances to the 2013 Enactus U.S. National Exposition in
Kansas City, Missouri, May 21-23.
