Dear Club members,

We received an invitation to attend Mid-Atlantic Case Competition held by the GSCB (UVA) and FCC (NIH) on Friday, April 17th, 2015 at the NIH campus, MD. This is great opportunity for students and post-docs to explore consulting as a career and showcase their skills in front of consultants from top firms, even for the ones who are not seriously considering consulting right now. We are looking for applications to form the team of Vanderbilt with 3-5 people. The detail information of this event is listed below. Please send an email to huapeng.yu@vanderbilt.edu by the end of this week, Sun, Mar 22nd, 11:59pm. After we received all applications, we will notify you with further updates.

Best,

VUADCC Board
