It’s been a busy fall for the Department of Accounting’s five student professional organizations (SPOs): Ascend, Beta Alpha Psi, Fox Accounting Association, Institute of Management Accountants Temple Chapter and National Association of Black Accountants. The SPOs welcomed representatives from Baker Tilly, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Johnson & Johnson, JP Morgan, KPMG, MPI Business Valuation and Consulting, PWC, RSM, SEI and Susquehanna International Group to campus.
Beta Alpha Psi (BAP), the national accounting honors society, hosted an evening recruiters at the start of the year as part of the school’s Accounting Week. Representatives from over twenty organizations attended the event in the Undergraduate Commons of Alter Hall. Ascend brought together students and professionals for their 7th Annual Kickball Tournament, a casual networking and charity event for accounting and finance companies.
