A big congratulations to the nearly 80 college accounting students who joined us on Friday, May 16, for Accelerating Scholars in Accounting! It was an inspiring and action-packed day of learning, networking and career-building! From powerful insights on resilience and entrepreneurship from keynote speaker @Eric LeGrand to interactive sessions on personal branding, financial literacy, CPA Exam tips and business chemistry, students walked away with tools to thrive in their future careers. A special highlight was our speed networking with CPAs, where students got a real-world look at different roles in the profession and asked questions directly to those in the field. We thank the CPAs who facilitated these conversation, including Joe Hunt, Phil Sookram, Peter Gilleece, Kait Vinch, June Toth, Brigid D'Souza, Hilary Celis, Sam Zacharisen, Jaiwen Cai, Joseph Chorba, Pierre Mascetti and Luke Fiorina. 🙌 And of course, we are incredibly grateful to our speakers Eric LeGrand; Nicole DeRosa, CPA; Justin Shure, CFP®; Ben Aspir, CPA; Larissa Hoffmann, CPA; Peter Olinto; Nicholas Mihalik; and Tafadzwa Munganasa CA(Z) and generous support of our CPA pipeline partners CLA , CohnReznick, Deloitte Foundation, EisnerAmper, EY, Forvis Mazars Group, WilkinGuttenplan, Wiss and Withum.
