What we're building

Four ways to build consulting skills alongside your research.

Start with practice, move into projects, and meet people who do this work every day.

01

Case practice

Work through business cases with fellow graduate students and get feedback on how you structure and communicate.

02

Workshops

Frameworks, slide storytelling, resume reviews, and mock interviews that translate research into consulting language.

03

Pro-bono projects

We plan to form small teams of graduate students to scope and deliver projects for Miami-area organizations, with an emphasis on healthcare and life sciences.

04

Panels and coffee chats

Hear from consultants about the work, how they got there, and where graduate students fit.

Why graduate students

You already do the hard part of consulting.

Structure ambiguous problems

Turning an open question into a testable plan is the core of both research and consulting.

Explain complex ideas clearly

We help you adapt the way you present to experts so it works for busy decision makers.

Learn a new domain fast

Each project asks you to get up to speed on an unfamiliar industry and deliver something useful.

Programs

Practice, projects, and people.

Four programs we are building to take you from your first case to a client project, designed around a graduate student schedule.

01

Case practice sessions

Practice structuring and solving business cases with fellow graduate students. Sessions are friendly to beginners, and you get feedback on both your reasoning and how you communicate it.

Best for: anyone preparing for consulting interviews, or curious what a case actually involves.

02

Professional development workshops

Hands-on sessions on problem structuring and frameworks, building clear slides, translating a research CV into a consulting resume, and mock interviews.

Best for: graduate students who want practical skills they can use in industry, whether or not they choose consulting.

03

Pro-bono consulting projects

We plan to form small teams of graduate students to scope and deliver projects for Miami-area organizations, with an emphasis on healthcare and life sciences. Each project will have a project lead and clear deliverables.

Best for: members who want real engagement experience to talk about in interviews.

04

Speaker panels and coffee chats

Hear from consultants, including those who started in graduate school, about what the work is like and how they got there. Smaller coffee chats give you time for your own questions.

Best for: anyone still deciding whether consulting is the right next step.

How it fits together

A path from curious to client-ready.

  1. Explore

    Come to a panel or coffee chat and see what consulting is.

  2. Practice

    Build the habits in case sessions and workshops.

  3. Apply

    Join a project team and deliver work for a real client.

  4. Lead

    Coach newer members or take a role on the board.
