Berg Enactus advances to national competition

What a difference a year makes. Heidelberg’s Berg Enactus chapter is moving onto national competition in May after the group’s first-ever regional win in Chicago earlier this month.

Competing against the likes of the University of Michigan, the University of Nebraska, SUNY at Fredonia and Western Kentucky, the Berg Enactus team – juniors Sydney Calabro, Kristopher Wingerd, Nicholas Meyer, Jacob Cooper and Ty Garrett -- presented a live, multi-media summary of their entrepreneurial project at the regional competition and stood tall to some tough questioning from the judges.

Berg Enactus has spent the academic year working with the Tiffin-Seneca United Way and the Cherry Street Mission in Toledo as the United Way’s Community Task Force Subcommittee on Homelessness works toward the planned opening of a local homeless shelter.

Berg Enactus has competed at the regional level the past several years, but this is the first year they’ll be moving on to the U.S. National Exposition. So, what made a difference this year? Read more to find out.
