Cornell University has a long-standing tradition of business management leadership and dedication to community service. The Johnson School has created a common platform for the Tompkins County non-profit community to solicit the assistance of graduate business students at the Johnson School and obtain assistance on relevant valued business issues. Johnson Consulting Group offers a mechanism to bring MBA students into the Tompkins County community - MBA students can now lend their expertise and apply their business / management training in real-time by tackling the real-life problems and timely business issues facing non-profits.

Johnson School MBA Students
Each year, one or two students chair the Community Consulting Group. Responsibilities include identifying opportunities in the community and searching the Johnson School Community to find the skill set and personal fit that most closely matches the needs of the client.
