The series is planned to help students who are interested or curious in the path from graduate school or professional studies to consulting as a career. This series is formed of five sessions, each hosted by a UVA alum speaking of their journey to consulting providing the audience with a first-hand narrative to observe this unique career path. This event is also open to all students and postdocs.
