Consulting involves providing content-specific knowledge and recommendations to solve problems for an external client or internally for an organization. Consultants work in business and nonprofit, and serve clients in academia, industry, government, nonprofit, and business.

These events are hosted in collaboration with Texas Advanced Degrees 2 Consulting (AD2C). AD2C strives to provide a platform for advanced degree students to explore the world of business by connecting students with the resources and individuals to enable a successful transition from academia to consulting. They are dedicated to fostering an inclusive, welcoming, and collaborative club environment where their members can build their business network, knowledge, and skills. Join AD2C.
