Over the past 44 years, The Consortium has grown to include 15 member schools and nearly 6,000 alumni. We need your help to keep growing our network. Getting engaged is easy. There are opportunities across the country and throughout the year to get involved.

Attend Recruiting Events

Recruiting events take place each fall in major cities across the country. Attend an event to share your experiences with prospective applicants by speaking with students one-on-one or by sitting on a panel. Relay how your Consortium membership benefitted you in business school and throughout your career.

Stay connected to The Consortium by becoming a Consortium Alumni Regional Representative (CARR). CARRs in major metropolitan cities across the U.S. help plan alumni events and encourage fellow alumni to get involved as a Consortium volunteer.

Contribute an Article to IN Magazine Online

Share your area of expertise and unique perspective with Consortium students, alumni, Sponsors and Member Schools by writing an article for IN magazine. Submissions on subjects relating to issues in business and diversity are welcome.

Donate to The Consortium

Donating to our Annual Campaign will only strengthen our organization. Your gift can be applied to the General Fund, a Fellowship or to the Wally L. Jones Endowment. You can also donate to your alma mater. Check with your company to see if they will match your gift. Corporate matching gifts greatly increase the impact of your contribution.

Encourage Your Company to Join The Consortium

Consortium Sponsors have access to talented first-year students before they even enter the classroom. Inform your employer of thisand other great benefits your company will receive when they become a Sponsor.

Interview Consortium Applicants

As part of the admissions process, every applicant must complete an interview with either a member school representative or an alumni volunteer. Applicants enjoy meeting with alumni volunteers to learn more about the MBA experience as a Consortium member and for potential career opportunities. Interview appointments are based on the interviewer’s availability.
