Enactus Club
OSWEGO, NY – If you’re a Business Management major and you’re looking to take the next stop to follow your dreams, then the Enactus program is the club for you. Enactus is an international organization with 1600 universities across 37 countries totaling around 60,000 plus students. I asked Spencer Wieland, senior vice-president of the Enactus Club to determine how do you prepare for the business world.
You can get a lot of real world experience joining Enactus or other organization (Weiland said). Enactus gives you the opportunity to do various projects in the community. Not only help the community but to actually get the real world experience of marketing and accounting.
The Enactus team will be traveling to Washington D.C. on the starting on March 28th and ending the 29th. Weiland claimed that they’re going to present a digitized project where we install new technology in the business such as a (POS System). If the team is successful enough, then they will be traveling to St. Louis later. (Date will be announced at a later date.)
To those that want to be successful in the business world in the future. Weiland states that a high GPA means a lot but doesn’t mean too much if you don’t have any real world experience. “Get involved!”

Approval of Additional Funding for HEAP
Senator Schumer announced yesterday that the U.S. department of Health and Human Services will be allocating over $326 million to the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP).
Many New York residents rely on this service to pay their heating bills during the winter.
Schumer and Gillibrand pushed to have the highest level of funding possible given to this program. Schumer says that this decision will force fewer people to decide between food and heat this winter. The senators say that October marks the beginning of the heating season.
HEAP helps hundreds of thousands of seniors and low income families, according to Schumer.
