TO THE EDITOR:
On Feb. 14, Daily Tar Heel editors called student body president candidate Tim Longest’s idea for a student consulting organization “feasible”. Not only is it feasible — it already exists.
The Peer Consulting Program, a part of the Undergraduate Consulting Club, serves to increase the quality of student clubs through semester-long projects. The program is currently in its trial period, but hopes to expand to help multiple clubs by fall 2012.
Student consultants can approach a club’s problems from a fresh perspective. During the semester, teams of student consultants will work with a club, do thorough research and regularly present their findings and recommendations to club leaders.
Additionally, Peer Consulting gives students interested in consulting a way to get real, hands-on experience with problem solving.
Clubs interested in participating in the Peer Consulting Program in the fall should e-mail Chris Gray at Chris_Gray@unc.edu.
Students interested in working as student consultants are encouraged to attend the Consulting Club interest meeting at 7 p.m. today in McColl 3600.
