“The major thing I like about Enactus is networking,” says Gabriel Castillo, senior business major and current president of Enactus. “You get to experience many useful things and get the opportunity to network with a lot of professionals around the nation and learn how the business world works.”
Castillo has been a part of the Enactus organization for three years. He started off as a presenter for the competition and moved on to be the vice president of projects.
