ABOUT

WHAT IS WCC?

Founded in 2006, the Wisconsin Consulting Club (WCC) is an undergraduate, professional organization dedicated to helping students learn about and prepare for careers in consulting. ​

​

WCC works with consulting firms to host informational panels, case workshops, mock interviews, networking events, and corporate visits. Our goal is to prepare members for case interviews and create opportunities to network with alumni as well as other consultants from top companies. As a testament to our success, we have been awarded as the Wisconsin School of Business's Best BBA Student Organization (2017-2019) as well as the University of Wisconsin's Outstanding Leadership Award (2022).

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT

I am honored to lead some of the brightest and most talented individuals at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. From the experienced mentors to our younger students, I am surrounded by a diverse background of people where there is always something new to learn. I attribute my development as a person to the Wisconsin Consulting Club.

​

The Wisconsin Consulting Club focuses on preparing our members for the consulting industry through our professional development opportunities and extensive network within and outside the club. Naturally, each one of our members shows an ambition and drive towards their personal and professional growth, taking advantage of the resources in WCC. We strive to create an inclusive environment where we challenge each other to exceed our perceived limits, while fostering a community that is supportive and respectful of each student’s individual goals. Our members discover lifelong relationships within the club, which attests to the strong community that is like no other.

​

For the 2024-2025 school year, we will expand our professional resources to strengthen the likelihood of success for our members in their consulting careers. Further, we will continue to build the community at WCC through our many events as the people is what makes our club special. The investment that we make into our members for each student to grow personally and professionally is our top priority. I am fortunate to lead our gifted community of students and hope to become a mentor similar to how I saw our past leaders as mentors for myself.

WCC EVENTS AND RESOURCES

AIC & BIC

Alumni in Consulting (AIC) and Breaking into Consulting (BIC) are WCC's signature events which occur every spring and fall semester, respectively. These events provide the opportunity to speak with WCC's alumni about their experiences in the industry, the skills they have developed, and any insights on the recruitment process. AIC is structured as a round-table while BIC operates as a panel event. Both events are open to the public, and prospective members are strongly encouraged to attend.

NETWORKING TRIPS

Every semester, WCC embarks on a networking trip to either Minneapolis or Chicago. Typically including 4-6 firms, these trips provide members with private information sessions, office tours, and opportunities to network with consultants. These trips have set the foundation for meaningful relationships forged between members and consultants as well as among fellow WCC members. Past firms that we have visited include McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Deloitte, PwC, Accenture, Kearney, A&M, and more. 

CASE COMPETITION

Each spring, WCC members have the opportunity to participate in our annual case competition. Organized by our case competition chairs and funded by a corporate sponsor, case competitions provide members with an invaluable experience that mimics the type of work and pace of consulting. While open to all undergraduates not in WCC, new members are required to participate to sharpen their technical and soft skills.

Case interview essentials are extensively covered throughout the program.
