The annual Consulting Challenge provides teams of graduate students from both MSU and the University of Northern Iowa with an opportunity to develop a consulting project proposal. During the three-day contest, students participate on two- or three-person teams (4 to 5 teams total). The teams are given a packet of information containing: a description of an organization, a description of a problem that the organization is experiencing, and raw data from a survey. After meeting with representatives of the company and analyzing the data, teams prepare a three to five page written proposal including a budget and detailed plan for an intervention in response to the fictitious Request For Proposals (RFP). The teams also make a presentation to a panel of faculty and company representatives who rate the proposals. The winning team gets bragging rights and their names on a perpetual plaque. Consulting Challenge 2005 Winning Team was: Tera Brown, Jennifer Harden, and Crystal Newman.
