The UConn Consulting Group is a strategy consulting group composed of top students at the University of Connecticut and advised by alumni who attended top business schools (Harvard Business School, Tuck School of Business, and MIT Sloan) and top consulting firms (McKinsey & Company, Bain & Company, A.T. Kearney, and The Boston Consulting Group).

The UConn Consulting Group was founded on the belief that with the right resources and training, students can develop the skills to solve some of the toughest business problems for major companies and institutions. Through an action learning approach, students will be on the fast track to compete and land jobs at the top companies in the world.

Founded in the summer of 2014 by Justin Lee (’15), the UConn Consulting Group aims to provide opportunities for high-caliber students to land roles at top strategy consulting firms. Justin noticed that UConn students lacked these opportunities and decided to start a group to change that.

He collaborated with two alumni working at the Boston Consulting Group who were passionate about mentoring undergrads. Together, they created a sustainable, high-performing experiential learning opportunity for UConn's best students.

The inaugural class of analysts, consisting of six members, worked with the UConn Alumni Association on their long-term strategy. The project's success led to the group's recognition as a model of alumni-student collaboration and action learning. With growing support from advisors and university leaders, UCG expanded its number of analysts and projects in the 2015-2016 school year.
