Annual Enactus “Roundtable” at Graceland University

Students and faculty are welcomed to the Entrepreneurial Roundtable.

The Enactus program at Graceland University does the “Entrepreneurial Roundtable” event yearly in the spring.  Thursday, March 30, Graceland students gathered for the day to hear remarkable stories from Graceland Grads who shared their life experiences.  At the banquet, business school faculty presented awards.

Angel Velitchkov shares at the Entrepreneurial Roundtable.

Because of the guest speakers and their fascinating stories, the “Roundtable” is one of my favorite events of the year. For example, Angel Velitchkov, who majored in international relations and political science at Graceland, shared his fascinating life journey. After leaving Graceland he got his Juris Doctor degree at the University of Nebraska. Thanks to a friendship with the person who became the President of Bulgaria, Angel became the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Republic of Bulgaria Then he was the Counsel for International Trade at the Department of Agriculture of the State of Nebraska and traveled much of the world on behalf of Nebraska’s agricultural interests. Now Angel is the Chief Executive Officer of St. Nicholas Trading Company, an import/export business.
