Enactus at Southern: Make It Matter!

Are you ready to turn your ideas into real-world impact? Enactus at Southern Adventist University is more than a club—it's a missional innovation lab where students from all majors collaborate to launch, strengthen, and scale ventures that create sustainable, Christ-centered change. Rooted in faith, entrepreneurial thinking, and measurable impact, Enactus empowers you to solve pressing problems like poverty, lack of sanitation, hunger, and women's empowerment through projects.

Our Identity: Who We Are

  • Purpose: Empower students to engage in missional ventures that build a better world while preparing principled leaders.
