Voices from PPG members 2018-2019
“Having a small group of like-minded individuals to bounce things off of was the best part of this program. It made not knowing what I want to do after Yale feel more okay.”
“Our group is very supportive and I feel very comfortable sharing confusion, experience, questions, and thoughts with my group members.”
“We were very well matched in terms of interests. In fact, we formed a team for the YGCC (Yale Graduate Consulting Club) case competition (with 2 other people outside our group) and won!”
After completing the program, ALL members participated in the satisfaction survey said they prefer to work in a group than individually!
