New networking site for aspiring consultants launched
The Inter-Collegiate Consulting Network (ICCN) is a multi dimensional platform unlike any other. Its purpose is to connect students involved in consulting groups at universities and colleges across the United States, including students in both undergraduate and MBA programs. The web site’s features include blogs, forums and the ability to upload résumés and case studies; allowing students to collaborate on projects, exchange ideas, answer questions, and assist in career advancement.

The ICCN is a New York-based start-up company founded by Bennett Resnik of James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA. After trying to start a consulting group on his own campus, Resnik realized that the same concept would apply on a national basis, and began communicating with universities and colleges across the country to begin establishing the Inter-Collegiate Consulting Network. “I thought, ‘there must be other college consulting group presidents in my position,’ so I wanted to create one comprehensive network.”
Resnik says the advantages of an entire network are endless. Unlike many current networking outlets, the ICCN is a platform for like-minded students to connect and share information. Its self-selecting audience comprises motivated students who have experience in and a passion for the consulting business.
When asked what his hopes for the future of the site are, Resnik said, “We are very excited for the next phase to take life; I hope that students can bring what they’ve learned from the ICCN back to their respective groups on campus.”
