Callum L. Grady (President)
Hi, I'm Callum and I'm extremely passionate about student entrepreneurship. As a first year Business & Management student, I initiated projects such as EHSU blog series Start Up Stories, as well as being involved in the founding of Wine Society and Edge Hill's Enactus team.
