Our Team
Since 2024, we’ve had big ambitions.
Founded in the summer of 2024, we saw a part of Saint Louis too often overlooked. Small businesses and nonprofits serve as the backbone across Saint Louis communities, yet they often lack the resources to gain outside assistance. Enter 180 DC WashU. Our pro-bono services enable our clients to get the assistance they deserve, while also enabling our members to make a meaningful impact in their community.
Although we are a relatively new branch on the WashU campus, we plan to expand our projects in both number and scope. We are the first social impact-driven consulting organization on WashU’s campus, and work towards building a more prosperous Saint Louis.
Through 180 Degrees Consulting’s global resources, we spearhead WashU’s promise to uplift the community in Saint Louis, for Saint Louis.
Our Network
Our members have a large employer network across a diverse set of industries. With each passing semester, we look forward to growing the opportunities available to our members and employers. The depth and nature of our work gives our members the momentum to excel in consulting roles and beyond.
