Following on the success of last week’s Intro to Case Competitions, we thought we’d pause and take a week to work on some of the ideas and skills we introduced earlier this semester. So this Monday, we tackled a series of cases from a variety of industries and business functions together, practicing our brainstorming and structuring skills, and worked on bringing them up to speed!

Last week's Case Competition Workshop, led by our very own VPs and Duke Case Competition Champions, Rick Wang and Silvia Zhang, was a big success! Thanks to everyone who came out, and hopefully we'll see you all this Monday, when we'll get together to practice our brainstorming and structuring skills!

Come by the Grad School Orientation Resource Fair, tomorrow, Monday August 20th on Bailey Hall Plaza from 10 am to 12 noon!!! Your co-Presidents, Éilís Monahan and Fiona Harnischfeger, will be there to talk to new students about the CGCC, careers in consulting, and our plans for the coming year!

The Cornell Graduate Consulting Club was proud to present Jacob Lehman, Associate Director of the Cornell SC Johnson School of Management Career Management Center as our speaker this last Tuesday, March 27th. Jacob was an amazing presenter, and gave our members lots of valuable information about how MBAs and non-MBAs communicate differently, and how to best position ourselves in the business world, tailor our resumes, and network effectively. Thank you, Jacob!
