Corporate Involvement

Corporate Involvement

The Undergraduate Management Consulting Association  provides a forum for various firms and corporations to educate talented and interested students about their companies, careers, and experiences.  Professional involvement helps cultivate positive relationships with the Foster School of Business, its students and faculty, and allows companies to remain at the forefront of a student’s consideration set, both in career choices and as a company to potentially work with in the future.  By helping to promote consulting, business, and an entrepreneurial mindset at the University of Washington, we can continue to attract high quality students to our organization.  This will increase the caliber of future recruits as well as provide advocates to promote your firm in the future.

Promote The Field

Consulting firms, Investment Banks, and companies alike all  have one thing in common; they need pools of interested and exceptional individuals to sustain the reputation of their respective industries and specializations.  Many students are unaware of the opportunities and benefits that consulting  or investment banking offers.  With your help, the UMCA will act as an on-campus advocate to both educate and attract talented students to the field and help refine the skills necessary to succeed.

Increased Access to Students

The UMCA encourages students to work closely with the business community throughout their college careers. Students are more likely to make their evaluations of a company based upon their hands-on interaction with its representatives rather than what they hear in generalized informational meetings or what they read in company brochures. It is the personal contact that makes the difference. The UMCA seeks to involve professionals in our educational process by inviting you to lead weekly educational meetings. These meetings provide you with the opportunity to interact with, target and educate proactive students.

Promote Education

Your involvement with the UMCA will demonstrate that you encourage students to proactively seek out a higher level of education. Your support will help the UMCA provide innovative programs and opportunities that integrate the professional and educational communities to produce more capable leaders for the future. Your involvement will help provide an experience that will impact the students for life, enhancing their confidence, skills and commitment to educational challenge.
