Southern Methodist University

180 Degrees Consulting at Southern Methodist University is a student-led, pro bono consulting group based in Dallas. Founded in 2025, our branch connects SMU students with local nonprofits and socially conscious organizations to tackle real, near-term challenges and strengthen community impact across Dallas-Fort Worth. Each semester, our teams work directly with client leaders on projects ranging from growth strategy and fundraising to operations, marketing, and impact measurement, delivering practical recommendations grounded in research and analysis. As part of 180 Degrees Consulting’s global network, we focus on helping mission-driven organizations do more with limited time and resources, while building a strong community of students gaining hands-on consulting experience.
