Joining 180DC has been one of the best decisions I ever made in college. This organization enabled me to combine my interests in business and social impact, experience so much personal and professional development, and meet lifelong friends.

180DC has given me the opportunity to team up with some of the brightest consulting minds on campus to help clients make a difference in our local, national, and global communities. Project managing for 180DC developed my leadership and analytical skills in a fun team environment.

Joining 180DC was a great decision that has allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone in terms of industry and culture. I have also gained a lot of knowledge and have had access to many resources which I am eager to share with my community to increase the representation of BIPOC students in the business world.
