Consulting Focus
Consulting Focus brings together guest speakers, panels, workshops, and information sessions from across the consulting industry. Consulting Focus increases exposure of students to a range of careers and considerations, while providing Employer Partners with the opportunity to connect with Barnard's exceptional student body.
The series aims to share practical information with students about the ins and outs of pursuing work in consulting, while also engaging in conversations about important issues facing (and faced by individuals in) the field. Students benefit from direct contact with practitioners and talent professionals, while also connecting with each other and building a sense of cohort.
