What does MCG do?

Each semester, we provide free consulting services to seven companies over a ten-week timeline. Our eight-person teams consist of Middlebury students across all years, majors, and interests, which allows us to provide unique, well-reasoned insight into our clients’ most pressing challenges. Simultaneously, our devoted network of upperclassmen and alumni provides internship and career preparation – including the annual MCG Bootcamp Series to prepare our members for the consulting interview process.
