“I felt very confident at Regionals. It was an amazing opportunity to showcase what the Andrews University Enactus team has been doing this school year. I was so proud of the freshmen who were on our presentation team. Speaking for the whole team, we felt appreciated when multiple Fortune 500 executives and recruiters congratulated us on our presentation. We definitely left our mark, and we are getting ready to go do the same at the National Expo.”- William Down, President of Andrews University Enactus
