Fourth River Solutions is a non-profit consulting organization, led by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. We aim to educate our members about non-academic alternative careers while providing the experiential learning opportunities to explore the business side of science. Through experiential learning engagements, 4RS provides highly qualified graduate students with valuable real world experience while efficiently and competently executing client needs. This framework effectively improves student leadership, teamwork, and business acumen—skills that are synergistic and complementary to the intellectual rigors of graduate training—while providing clients and partnering organizations with progressive results.
