Enactus Now in Plymouth

Enactus, an entrepreneurial business club, has now joined the many clubs available at Plymouth State. Enactus focuses on finding real life solutions to problems facing both the student body and the local communities. Their motto "for every social problem, there is a business solution" exemplifies the purpose of the club.

President and founder Nick Melewski founded the club in order to help students understand how business works, as well as give students hands-on experience when dealing with small businesses.

"Our goal is to empower people by improving their standard of living and quality of life.  Using the entrepreneurial skills and business knowledge of our members, we will be working to enrich the campus and community," said Melewski

Enactus brings several interesting new opportunities to the table. They give students the ability to network with business owners, as well as get tips and tricks from business leaders they wouldn't meet in the classroom. Furthermore, it allows business, sales, and marketing majors to interact and combine their skills in new ways.

Currently, Enactus is a part of several business and community projects in the Plymouth area. "We are currently assisting Whole Village in the creation of a Prosperity Center for our community. That would include a financial literacy program, health promotion, parenting classes, and even a crash-course in social media for those in need. Our members are also creating a social business that would support local veterans and the homeless shelter. We also recently teamed up with The Common Man to get our business plans going," said Melewski

Enactus offers several projects that stretch farther than the immediate Plymouth area. The group is currently working on attending national conventions as well as large-scale job fairs in the future. Enactus meets every Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. in the Lamson Library Tower room (Room 202) and encourages anyone interested to join.
