Welcome

The Wharton Undergraduate Consulting Club (WUCC) is seeking Penn undergraduate students to join one of its two constituent committees. Committees are a great way for freshmen and sophomore members to learn about the consulting industry, connect with consulting employers, and get involved with the internal operations of a major campus organization. Committee members are also first in-line to fill vacant positions on the WUCC Executive Board. Below is a brief description of the two committees that are recruiting:

Technology Consulting Committee will be responsible for consulting other Penn clubs on their technology needs including web site design, news updates, and brand identity. The committee also develops and markets its technology-based services and products for campus groups. Recommended skills (but not required) are HTML, PHP, SQL, Graphic Design.

The Publications Committee will be responsible for creating and distributing materials to fellow WUCC members. This committee will be a great way for members to actively learn about the consulting world. Materials range from interview preparation materials (general interview questions, and fit, sizing, and case interview questions) to a handbook about the various fields of consulting. This is a newly formed committee looking for organized and motivated individuals who work well in collaborative environments.

The application form is attached. The deadline for applications to join a WUCC committee is Friday, March 12, at 11:59pm. Submissions should be sent to sam@oldaks.com (Technology Consulting) and wterri@sas.upenn.edu (Publications) according to the instructions provided. Please use the subject line “WUCC Committee Application – FirstName LastName”.

We appreciate your interest in the Wharton Undergraduate Consulting Club. Good luck with your application!

Sincerely,

2009 WUCC Executive Board
