Interesting & Interested

Inquiry fuels us. We dare to ask “why” when everyone thinks it’s obvious. We dig past the obvious to find the extraordinary. More importantly, we all own our uniqueness and together form into a diverse body: in thought, background, and belief.

Community Oriented

We believe strongly in paying it forward. Our members guide each other forward by sharing experiences, teaching techniques, and providing meaningful mentorship. Venture members seek to serve their unique communities both on and off-campus through our shared service events.


Unapologetically Ourselves

We are loud, excited, and zealous when having fun. We break the ice and connect on a deeper level. We strongly value diversity for the creative and unique ideas it creates. We inspire each other; we empower each other; we laugh with each other; and most important of all, we build relationships to last a lifetime.

 

Alumni Network

 

Venture alumni extends to a diverse range of careers and industries, from large technology companies, investment banks to small startups and boutique consulting firms. Many went on to create startups of their own, using the knowledge and experience that they acquired in Venture.

Our alumni remain active in the organization, frequently returning as mentors and advisors, as well as leading training sessions and professional workshops. Our growing alumni network provides consultants with access to various resources including recommendations for internships.
