Student Delegates
ENACT student delegates are appointed to foster civic engagement on their college campus and facilitate engagement and interaction with ENACT Ambassadors, students and alumni around the country. In addition, student delegates mentor and collaborate with members of campus clubs to help them become more effective citizen advocates at the state legislative level.

In spring 2022, Tomas took ENACT Faculty Fellow Jennifer Seelig's ENACT course. This class transformed his perspective on civic engagement both at a local and state level.
