Enactus STU Attends National Conference

Members of Enactus STU had the opportunity to network with students from across the country, exchange ideas, and share their projects at the Enactus Canada National Exposition in Toronto.

Enactus is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring students to improve the world through entrepreneurial action. The National Exposition was the first in-person event for the STU group since the beginning of the pandemic.

Isabella Mehlitz, a fourth-year STUdent from Fredericton and co-president of Enactus STU, said the event highlighted the importance of addressing issues from the social sciences and humanities perspective.

“People thought it was odd that we were from a small liberal arts school, in a very business-oriented environment. But we broke that stereotype and I’m very proud of that,” she said.

“A liberal arts education, in addition to Enactus, has helped me develop a strong sense of social responsibility and transferable intellectual and practical skills that I can use in real-world settings.” •
