Enactus ECU Alumni: Testimonials.
“As a result of joining Enactus ECU, I have vastly improved my communication skills (as I was a very shy person before), I got real life experience of working in a project, I learnt how to develop a social media plan, how to lead meetings, how to engage with stakeholders and many more.”
– Rebecca Fernandez Campal
“Enactus is a way of not only giving back to the community but also an organisation where I would develop my skills, make connections with likeminded students, plan and develop live projects. My involvement with Enactus ECU enriched my leadership capabilities, honed my project planning and documentation skills, and bolstered my public speaking skills.”
– Hasit Gadani
“I was amazed at the impact and reach a student group can have and wanted to learn more about its potential. Personally, I believe that university studies should include practical application of the theories and skills learned, and Enactus seemed like a great opportunity for me to do so.”
– Annika Gnaedig
