What SSC(Society of Strategy Consulting) does

SSC (Society of Strategy Consulting) is a university-affiliated student consulting society at Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul, South Korea, established in 2006 and led by an active industry consultant at founding. It is the only business strategy consulting society on campus and operates as an extracurricular academic organization rather than a commercial entity, cultivating strategic thinking, analytical skills, and consulting capabilities among undergraduate and graduate students through a structured curriculum comprising Boot Sessions, Book Sessions, Case Sessions, and industry-academia cooperation projects.

The organization is currently in its 40th generation, with roughly 10-15 new members per cohort recruited twice yearly, and has produced over 280 alumni since inception. Many alumni have placed at top-tier consulting firms (McKinsey, AT Kearney, PwC), major corporations (Samsung Electronics, Google Korea), and financial institutions (JP Morgan, Shinhan Bank). SSC's governing structure consists of elected student officers (President, Vice President, and team heads for Sessions, External Cooperation, HR, and Database) under the academic advisorship of Professor Kim Sang-gyun of SKKU's College of Business Administration.

SSC does not sell products or services commercially. Its revenue model consists of membership contributions and institutional support from the university. Industry-academia cooperation projects with 20+ corporate partners (including LG CNS, KakaoBank, Riot Games Korea, Coach Korea, Coway, Hyundai Department Store, IlDong Pharmaceuticals, and Bok Soon Do Ga) function as practical training engagements rather than revenue transactions, and have generated multiple ASL conference grand prizes and outstanding team awards from 2022 through 2026.
