Smart Start

Smart Start is a signature program sponsored by PwC offering a series of workshops during the academic year that equips a diverse pool of first- and second-year students with the tools for academic, personal, and professional success. In keeping with the Jesuit ideal of “women and men for others,” participants are mentored by peers and by Georgetown alumni who work at PwC. In addition, as a result of their participation in Smart Start, several students have been hired as interns at PwC.

“Smart Start not only offered me a variety of professional and academic experiences, but also provided me with the opportunity to explore the multidimensionality of today’s business world.”

“I’m really grateful for the professional exposure that Smart Start has given me. Besides the fact that I really got to know PwC’s culture early on as a freshman in college, I feel like it has really helped me feel more confident in my professional life. The year-long program helped me ease into the professional world, without it feeling too overwhelming. Because of that, I feel and believe that I got a head start!”
