Programs

Three programs. One club.

Every GRC member joins one of three programs: client consulting, applied research, or consulting-recruiting coaching. Each has its own format, roles, and deliverables, and each meets weekly.

Get ahead in
consulting recruiting.

Workshop and Mentorship (WAM) is GRC's internal coaching system, helping underclassmen break into consulting through peer-led training, 1-on-1 coaching, and structured practice.

Program overview

Model
Classroom-style. All mentees meet weekly to learn from WAM leads about industries, recruiting etiquette, and more.
1-on-1 mentorship
Regular meetings with an assigned mentor, including mock behavioral and case interviews. Sessions start with an introduction to the consulting industry, then move into structured recruiting help aligned to the actual recruiting timeline, all within the same semester.
Eligibility
Open to first-years and sophomores. Juniors and seniors who have been through the program lead as WAM mentors.
