This is a great opportunity for students interested in consulting to showcase your skills while addressing an issue that is of high relevance for the campus community.

Following on the success of last week’s Intro to Case Competitions, we thought we’d pause and take a week to work on some of the ideas and skills we introduced earlier this semester. So this Monday, we tackled a series of cases from a variety of industries and business functions together, practicing our brainstorming and structuring skills, and worked on bringing them up to speed!

Last week's Case Competition Workshop, led by our very own VPs and Duke Case Competition Champions, Rick Wang and Silvia Zhang, was a big success! Thanks to everyone who came out, and hopefully we'll see you all this Monday, when we'll get together to practice our brainstorming and structuring skills!

The Cornell Graduate Consulting Club was proud to present Jacob Lehman, Associate Director of the Cornell SC Johnson School of Management Career Management Center as our speaker this last Tuesday, March 27th. Jacob was an amazing presenter, and gave our members lots of valuable information about how MBAs and non-MBAs communicate differently, and how to best position ourselves in the business world, tailor our resumes, and network effectively. Thank you, Jacob!

Also, there will be delicious deserts, thanks to our sponsors at the GPSA Programming Board and the BEST Program!
