Experience Alhambra

Our members are the backbone of Alhambra. We are dedicated to providing an exciting, social, and educational experience for each and every member. Regardless of your background, Alhambra has a place for you. Read to learn more about what it means to be a member of Alhambra and how to join.

Strategists
are the heart of Alhambra, selected through a rigorous yet holistic application process. They carry out directed research, analyze market trends, and develop strategic plans for clients each semester, gaining valuable hands-on experience as undergraduates.

Partners
comprise the executive board. They are responsible for bringing in new clients, recruiting new strategists, governing existing accounts, organizing consulting group events and education, and determining the direction of Alhambra.

Accounts
are the projects we work on for clients. After preliminary diligence, the board selects a roster of local organizations to service. Teams of strategists led by partners then work to develop research, recommendations, reports, and an actionable final deliverable.

Join Alhambra

Alhambra welcomes new strategists at the start of the fall semester each academic year. We look for the best and brightest at Williams who bring unique perspectives, diverse backgrounds, and a passion for the Berkshires. There are no pre-requisites to apply for Alhambra, and we encourage all who are interested to submit an application. There is no one ideal candidate—our members have historically spanned the entire range of academic and professional scopes.
