Consulting for Purdue, by Purdue.
We are a student-run consultancy at Purdue. Our clients are campus departments, student organizations, and outside companies, and the recommendations our members deliver get put into practice.
Student-run consulting at Purdue since 2016.
PurdueTHINK is Purdue’s leading and oldest student-run consultancy. For over a decade, we’ve partnered with organizations across campus to solve their hardest problems, giving our members real, hands-on project experience while helping build a better Purdue.
We also invest heavily in our members beyond client work. Internally, that means casework and mentorship from some of the most accomplished consultants on campus. Externally, it means an industry network that opens doors most students don’t see until years into their career. And underneath all of it is a community that actually shows up for each other, in casework, on projects, and everywhere in between.
What clients and members say.
ClientSeeing the broader PurdueTHINK community come together, and the care each team brought to their work, was really neat. Your curiosity, openness to feedback, and collaborative spirit made working with you genuinely rewarding. It’s been a privilege to support your team, and we look forward to implementing the deliverables.

AlumnusAs an engineer, it’s amazing how profound of an impact a consulting club had on my life, both socially and professionally. Along with lifelong friends and incredible memories, PurdueTHINK helped me fill in the non-technical gaps in my professional toolkit, sharpening skills that many engineers lack, like presentations, PM work, client relationships, interviewing, networking, and more.
