Enactus

Student Group, College of Business

MSU’s Enactus student group is collectively being recognized as the April Public Affairs Student Spotlight for their campus involvement and dedication to the betterment of local businesses.  (More information can be found at www.enactus.org, or via email at Enactus@MissouriState.edu.)  The group has numerous programs, including Business Entrepreneurs Education Program (BEEP), in which local businesses receive help with the development of various aspects of marketing, such as merchandising, commercials, and websites; Entrepreneurs Reaching Citizens (ERC), an after-school program that teaches life skills to children at the Greene County Alternative Detention Center; and the Overseas Coupon Program, in which members clip coupons for food and other items and ship them to military personnel at a US Army base in Okinawa, Japan, where groceries cost 49% more than they do here.

One of their more recent campus programs was “Ice Your Debt”.  This two-day project included information booths, at which Missouri State students could learn how to freeze their credit cards, a “Cash Cab”-like trivia game that tested students’ financial literacy as they rode across campus in a golf cart, and a presentation by motivational financial speaker Rachel Cruze.  The design and impact of the program will be presented at a regional competition in Chicago on April 12th – where they are also the 2012 Regional Champions!
