Winter 2023 - if you're interested in a career in consulting take this class. you essentially work for 6 months as a consultant for a social enterprise. the only downside are the late night meetings, the class is usually offered on Tuesday from 6pm to 9pm but some of the sessions are over zoom. Take this class and try to get into the program. Professor Atkeson is a great lecturer.
