Velocity Consulting

bv伟德ios下载的 Velocity Consulting was the first 100 percent student-run, full-service consulting agency in the country. Members gain incredible experience and build a strong portfolio while providing marketing, 品牌, graphic design, web development, 会计, 金融, product testing, and editing services for area businesses and nonprofits. Past clients have included Johnson Outdoors, Snap-on Inc., 出赛 County, Expanded Technologies, and the Urban League of Racine. The organization was created in 2009 to give students the opportunity to apply what they learn in the classroom in a meaningful way and gain real-life work experience before leaving college. Other colleges have since copied the Velocity model, including Harvard University.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)

VITA is an IRS program that offers free tax help to low- to moderate-income people who cannot prepare their own tax returns. Students who want to volunteer for VITA must complete training and take a certification test. Students then spend a day or two gaining valuable knowledge in preparing tax returns as they perform important community service.

FIC educates students on the basics of financial planning and the wide variety of financial instruments available in the market today. FIC also introduces students to investing by using an investment simulator to give a real-world experience.
