Team Players

We want to work with a team that we can count on, both in and out of projects. YUCG members should be excited to create a strong community both as a team member and leader.

Analytical Thinkers

Being able to structure and resolve problems is a vital skill for any analyst. This skill comes with being able to break down problems into their component parts to more easily evaluate them.

Creative Thinkers

We look for people who can innovate new solutions and use different perspectives to solve problems. Your creativity should be motivated by forward thinking, and a desire to come up with completely novel approaches that challenge the status quo.

Excellent Communicators

The ability to express your thoughts persuasively and precisely is key to success in our work. All our members must be able to give clear presentations to clients.

Commitment

YUCG will consume your time. We want people who are passionate about our projects and have an innate drive to improve our organization's performance and community. 

Extracurricular Bazaar

Vist our booth on Campus Groups as a casual introduction to our organization! This is a great opportunity to better understand what it means to be a consultant and what our club has to offer. During this time you can meet our members, ask preliminary questions, and pick up more detailed informational material.
