| About Students |
This is an opportunity for our top graduate students to engage in an 8-week project working as outside consultants to solve a strategic challenge for real industry leaders. Students work as teams in order to come up with the best solutions. You can expect each student to contribute roughly ~20 hours per week. The students receive course credit, and thus, compensation is not required to participate. If students perform well, you're definitely encouraged to consider them for more permanent positions.
