Alumni
During the Spring of my sophomore year, I was an Engagement Manager for our project with a small nonprofit that brought awareness to teen homelessness. I managed my own team of consultants and served as the direct point of contact with the client. This experience allowed me to build more confidence as a leader and become more comfortable with my fellow club members."

I have learned how to effectively conduct research, sharpened my presentation skills, and increased my logical reasoning abilities. These skills translate over to many other aspects of my life, and I appreciate 180 for refining these skills. I also continue to learn more with every 180 project I take on!"
