Each semester, the MMB Program allows us to gain meaningful experience through group projects. We are placed in teams of 4-6 and are tasked with a problem that we work on together.
In the fall of my first year, I worked on a short term project dealing with a novel anticoagulant and a semester long project as a group of consultants for a large CDMO looking to expand into the Chinese market.
This was my first semester being part of these graduate student consulting projects.
Spring - First Year
In the spring of my first year, I had the opportunity to work on even more projects. My team helped identify market potential for a synthetic platelet technology and helped market a screening tool for sepsis.
This semester I also joined Consult Your Community—a student run organization that provides Pro-Bono consulting to small businesses. My first project was to help the BWEL Foundation grow its volunteer base!
The COVID-19 pandemic began halfway through this semester but my teams were able to navigate the rough waters and deliver the same level of excellence to our project sponsors.
Fall - Second Year
In the fall of my second year, I served as an Engagement Manager within Consult Your Community where we developed tools to help bolster a social media marketing campaign for Herbal Healing.
This semester marked the last of my pro-bono graduate consulting projects. My spring capstone course revolves around entrepreneurship and original business ideas.
