Rotman Commerce Consulting Association (RCCA)

What Rotman Commerce Consulting Association (RCCA) does

Rotman Commerce Consulting Association (RCCA) is a student-run, non-profit consulting club affiliated with the Rotman Commerce Student Life Office at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Canada, founded in 2008. It operates a portfolio of programs built around three pillars — Interest (educating students about consulting), Preparation (equipping students with recruitment and case-interview skills), and Launch (connecting students with firms) — targeted exclusively at Rotman Commerce students. Core offerings include the annual Consulting Demystified kick-off event, the Rotman Commerce Consulting Conference (RCCC, described as the largest student-run consulting conference in Toronto), the RCCA Casebook for interview preparation, mentorship programs, workshops, and case competitions.

RCCA's underlying technology footprint is minimal: it operates on a Squarespace-hosted website, basic social media profiles on Instagram and LinkedIn, and an email newsletter, with no proprietary software, APIs, or AI-driven products disclosed. Its 'technology' is essentially human-mediated event programming and downloadable PDF resources such as the RCCA Casebook.

The organization has no commercial revenue model. It is funded through the Rotman Commerce Student Life Office and corporate sponsorships from a network of more than 20 partner firms including McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Deloitte, KPMG, PwC, EY, Accenture, IBM, Oracle, Mastercard, RBC, BMO, TD, Capital One, Oliver Wyman, Kearney, ZS Associates, Mercer, Bell, PepsiCo, and Nestle. RCCA facilitates scholarships (approximately $3,800) on behalf of sponsoring firms to Rotman Commerce students and provides all programming free of charge. Leadership is elected annually from the Rotman Commerce student body and the organization is currently led by President Audrey Gong and Vice President Ethan Shewan, with a roster of approximately 41 student members across functional pillars.
