Foster Freshman Consulting: Spark Performance

a screenshot of undergraduate students in a zoom meetingBIG was the best experience I had this quarter. I entered having absolutely no idea what I was doing, but I am leaving with so much more knowledge about the consulting field. I made new friends, was mentored by the most generous of advisers, and was able to help a local small business continue to make a big (pun intended) impact. So grateful to everyone who was part of BIG consulting this quarter!
