180DC introduced me to consulting and provided me with a hands on way to make a lasting global impact, while also providing a supporting community of friends and mentors to learn from.
I know I’ll cherish these friendships and use the skills I’ve learnt in 180 for years to come.

Class of 2026
180DC has shaped my personal and professional journey at UCLA. It has opened so many doors for me in the business world that I, as a political science student who previously had little exposure to the consulting industry, likely never would have discovered. More than anything else, the people that this club has introduced me to have played such a big role in the great experiences I’ve had at this school, and I am so proud to be a part of the 180DC community here.
Jasmine Lin
Class of 2026
Having joined 180DC as a freshman, I was able to connect with like-minded peers and interact with a variety of professionals, who have sparked my interests in different career paths. Social impact and my community has always been a foundational aspect of my life, and I am glad to be able to continue this at UCLA through this organization.
