Enactus team advances to national semifinals
The Enactus team from the University of Missouri-Kansas City is seeking a national championship in their entrepreneurial competition during the Enactus United States National Exposition at the Kansas City Convention Center May 21-23.
During the first day of competition, the UMKC team advanced to the national semifinals. We are incredibly proud of the team for placing as one of the top 16 entrepreneurial groups in the country. The team qualified for the national competition in April by winning the regional competition in Garden Grove, California. This is the fifth consecutive year the team has qualified for the national competition; UMKC was a national semifinalist in 2016, matching their 2017 performance.
Enactus is a global organization for college students who volunteer to develop projects that create positive change through entrepreneurial action. Students describe their projects in multi-media presentations for the competition. The winner of the competition will qualify for the international competition in London this September.
More than 2,000 students, representing more than 100 U.S. colleges, are expected at the Kansas City expo.
