Eshgin’s background in start-ups and business projects prepared him well for the Enactus team of UNEC. After two years as an Enactus member, he is the team Project Manager, which requires him to arrive on campus one to two hours early each day to work with his team. “Being the team leader of our university …helped me improve my leadership skills,” says Eshgin, an economics major who plans to graduate in 2019. He says he is hopeful that participating in EWC 2917 will enhance his experience in entrepreneurship.
