Hear from participants that transformed their careers through Q3C!

“I would honestly say that Q3C has been the most impactful conference I’ve attended during my time at Queens. Not only did it allow me to make connections and develop skills that helped me secure my 2024 summer internship, but it was such a fun experience! For anyone interested in consulting, Q3C is a must-attend event!”

“I would highly recommend attending Q3C, even if you have the slightest interest in pursuing a career in consulting. Not only do you get the chance to network with firm representatives in a more casual environment, but you also get the chance to compete with impressive students. Reflecting on my Q3C experience, I really enjoyed learning from the keynote speakers and also met a few close friends from the conference! As a second-year student, applying to Q3C was a no brainer – the opportunities to kickstart your career are unmatched”
