Our Events

The MCG is one of the largest student organizations at the GSB with a membership base of over 400 students. Our mission is to educate students about the various aspects of consulting and provide them with opportunities to best position themselves for their post-MBA career. Every year we achieve this through various conferences and workshops, Lunch 'n Learn series, professor led seminars, second year mentoring sessions and multiple other activities.

Historically, the MCG has used sponsorship proceeds from firms to cover the costs of our main conferences and to help offset the costs of other group-sponsored events throughout the year.

We would like to highlight some of our main events below.

SECOND YEAR CASE WORKSHOP

Second Year Case Workshop is intended to help second-year GSB students practice their case solving and interview preparation skills. Historically, this workshop is attended by over 100 students who go through an initial case prep overview and then break into smaller groups for case practice with alumni and professionals in the industry. Lunch is provided during the workshop.

 
   

FIRST YEAR MCG NETWORKING NIGHT

Our new event, First Year MCG Networking Night, gives first-year students the first opportunity to learn about our sponsored firms and network with their representatives over drinks. This event intends to let students get an idea of each firm's culture, work style, and what they are looking for from a candidate. Students interested in pursuing an internship in the management consulting area should attend this event.

 
   

FIRST YEAR CAREER FORUM

Career Forum is intended to give first-year students an opportunity to learn more about the various aspects of consulting. This is the MCG's largest event, typically attended by more than 200 students every year. The event starts with a keynote speaker and then breaks out into smaller panels and seminars. At lunch, another keynote speaker will have an opportunity to introduce consulting or talk about industry trends from their company's perspective. The forum heads back into a final round of panels and events and concludes mid-afternoon.

First Year Case Workshop is intended to help first-year students practice their case solving and interview preparation skills. Historically, this workshop is attended by 150 students who go through an initial case prep overview and then break into smaller groups for case practice with alumni and professionals in the industry. Lunch is provided during the workshop.

 
   

LUNCH 'N LEARNS

The MCG will facilitate Lunch 'n Learns where consultants present and talk about specific practices, industries, projects, etc. The objective is for first- and second-year students, both MCG and non-MCG members, to learn about consulting, industries and trends at a micro level.

 
   

SOCIAL EVENTS

The MCG will organize several social events where first- and second-year students will be able to mingle in an informal setting. The objective is to get to know each other and have fun!
