Why Join WMGIC?
Leadership
As a member of the WMGIC team, you will play a vital role and be given a lot of responsibility in helping plan a case competition that draws in 100+ students and guests annually. You will learn effective communication and management skills that will make you a valuable asset to any employer.
Experience

Team members learn to manage the $10,000+ budget of WMGIC each year and find new sources of capital. Members learn more about the field of international development and through writing the case booklet, they research in-depth and learn to summarize efficiently, but effectively the issues relevant to the chosen topic for the competition.
Network

Additionally, WMGIC has a strong alumni network that can serve as a resource to you.
