"The BU Consulting Group engagements program has been my main source of comfort at the university. The people I’ve connected with have become like a second family, providing unwavering support and camaraderie. Beyond that, the hands-on real-world experience I gained through engagements, including working with clients, played a pivotal role in preparing me for my KPMG internship. It’s a testament to the program’s effectiveness in bridging the gap between academia and professional success."

"Engagements has allowed me to gain great exposure to what real consulting projects are like and the opportunity to work with cool clients across a variety of industries has been super valuable. I like the structure of the teams with EM, SC, and AC as it mimics real engagements very well which can definitely give you a leg up when you actually start working in consulting. Engagements leadership is also super helpful along the way with constant check-ins and feedback! You receive as much help and guidance as you need while still getting ownership over meaningful work — I would definitely recommend engagements to anyone interested in a potential career in consulting or just want to know what it’s like to help businesses solve problems."
