Colby Mechem ’26 found a career path to consulting in AiC. A busy Business Honors student who’s a member of the Texas A&M women’s basketball practice team, Colby describes Aggies in Consulting as one of the most meaningful parts of his Mays experience.
Through BUSN 204/MGMT 204 and BUSN 405/MGMT 405, the program gave me a clear roadmap for recruiting, introduced me to consulting opportunities, strengthened my networking and interview skills, and connected me with a cohort of motivated peers who shared the same goal. The guidance I received played a key role in helping me secure consulting internship offers and made the recruiting process feel much less overwhelming.
The Aggies in Consulting program has been instrumental in helping me realize my goal of pursuing a career in consulting—providing structure, mentorship, and an incredibly supportive cohort that made the recruiting process feel much less intimidating. That combination is what got me my offer from Alvarez and Marsal, and I don’t think I would have gotten there without this program.
Aggies in Consulting didn’t just prepare me for consulting – it gave me a community, mentors, and a mindset that I’ll carry with me wherever my career takes me. Being surrounded by accomplished and driven students challenged me, invested in me, and reinforced that I was capable of achieving the same level of success.
