Fairfield Dolan Consulting Hub

The Fairfield Dolan Consulting Hub connects alumni and partner organizations with student consulting teams for meaningful, real-world projects.

The Charles F. Dolan School of Business, a modern glass-and-brick institutional building, sits amid lush green trees, its broad windows and clean lines creating a calm, contemporary feel.

The consulting hub gives students the opportunity to gain practical consulting experience by addressing business challenges and opportunities for organizations across industries.

Through faculty-supported consulting projects, student teams work directly with established companies, small businesses, startups, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations. These projects allow students to apply classroom learning to real client needs while gaining professional experience. Partner organizations gain fresh perspectives, research, analysis, and actionable recommendations, while students develop the skills and practical expertise needed to succeed in today's workforce.

The consulting hub provides structure and guidance to ensure a successful experience that creates value for both students and partner organizations.
