Washington and Lee Student Consulting (WLSC) is a student-managed organization created to provide pro bono consulting services to for-profit and not-for-profit business and community organizations.

Student members receive an opportunity to put into practice those concepts that they study in the classroom. Beginning as early as their freshman year, WLSC members have a chance to hone their strategic planning and implementation skills.

Whether the client organization is a local community group or business or an international entrepreneurial venture acquired through the Environmental Enterprise Corps (EEC), WLSC members strive to provide strategic solutions comparable to what client firms might receive from commercial consulting firms. WLSC projects have included business/marketing plans, assessment of accounting methods, web site design and development, economic assessment, and human resource consulting.

WLSC works closely with several consulting firms to optimize client deliverables and offer periodic professional development seminars. These firms regularly hire WLSC members for internships and full-time positions. WLSC also has an ongoing relationship with the EEC to work with entrepreneurial ventures focusing on environmentally oriented issues, mainly in Latin America.

W&L is committed to extending students' education beyond the walls of the traditional classrooms. By encouraging students to integrate activities such as WLSC with their classroom discussions, the entire educational experience is enriched for all participants.
